Yes, you're correct - to fully complete the uninstall process a reboot is
required, but you can also install new drivers in the meantime and have
both actions fully completed by the next reboot. Similar to the way in which
you can install multiple Windows updates with a reboot after each one, or
with just a single reboot after installing all of them.
This is my understanding anyway - if someone wants to suggest differently
then they are welcome.
