Avoiding HWE Kernel (22.04)

Dear Ubuntu Experts,
I would like to have a stable Ubuntu 22.04 experience
as I need to roll it out on a number of workstations.
Hence: Shall I avoid a HWE kernel (6.5.0) over stable 5.15.x?
On the sand box test machine I have a AMD Ryzen Gaming Motherboard with
a "NVIDIA Corporation GA106 [Geforce RTX 3050]" for which I configured
Ubuntu 22.04 using [x] 3rd party drivers and intalled the 535 NVIDIA
drivers using:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
(is that recommended?)
I _think_ I had the stable 5.15.x kernel from the start, and
the upgrades switched to HWE, maybe due to Mainboard / GPU (see above) /
NVIDIA driver? Maybe simply in a newer 22.04.x point release?
In order to test the stable kernel, is the following procedure [1] ok?
sudo apt install linux-image-generic // Install GA
// Reboot into the newly-installed older kernel
// test the 5.15 kernel with NVIDIA, two screens etc.
sudo apt remove linux-generic-hwe-22.04 // Remove HWE
sudo apt autoremove
Or shall I keep the HWE kernel in any case when using fairly
new Mainboards and NVIDIA GPUs (we usually use GTX
1050)?

Many Thanks and Best Regards!
