Using libnotify for reminders
Depends... Is your goal to write an entire application to do this for you? You can use notify-send which is already linked with libnotify to do that, or look at a pre-existing application like https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly that might be more like what you're wanting to do...

Rolling update of Fedore kernel requires me to install Nvidia proprietary drivers every time
In theory yes, but practically there are differences at least for me. For example, I get strange graphical glitching using this program using the rpm fusion version but not when I install manually. There is also some weird random flashing, but I can’t really describe that in a definitive or reproducible way.
