MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvidia-module-all-drivers-
meta [2]:

This compatibility metapackage is not needed anymore.

I have created it temporarily to help e.g. nvidia-exec and nvidia-
tweaks
AUR packages to find Nvidia kernel driver dependency even if
a particular Nvidia driver package did not specify providing
'NVIDIA-MODULE'.

Affected were some custom AUR Nvidia driver/dkms packages and some
Manjaro repo packages.

But as of now all affected AUR packages have added the necessary
provides.

Manjaro also has added that in every unstable and testing branch
driver packages.
(In Manjaro stable branch, these updates are expected to arrive by
mid-June. Until then, the nvidia-dkms package already provides
'NVIDIA-MODULE' in the stable repo branch, so users do have a working
solution for using the aforementioned AUR packages even before the
other
driver updates get released for them.)

Safe to delete this metapackage. No loss of function expected.
