Retested with the latest kernels as of Sept 7, 2021. Now able to see that ubuntu-drivers now lists the 470-server driver as an available option. For both Focal and Hirsute, I first had to enable -proposed. For Bionic, it worked with the 4.15.0-156.163 kernel that was released this week.

Tested combinations:
Release Kernel
Bionic 4.15.0-156.163
Focal 5.4.0-85.95 (from focal-proposed)
Hirsute 5.11.0-35.37 (from hirsute-proposed)
Tested each driver with a cuda workload and use of nvidia-smi to verify the driver functions as expected after install.
