No, it did not move.

Thanks for these suggestions. Currently laptop is still on 4.18 again
(4.18.7) and I did not see this hang after resume so far. If it
continues to be stable for a few more days, I try with latest 4.19 again
as then its very likely kernel related.

I decided back then for Intel only graphics. I never regretted this.
For me NVidia graphics is not an option, unless NVidia significantly
changes their policy regarding free software drivers.
