PDP settings for LTE only network

No, there is no such thing. There's a bit of a grey line between what
NM should or should not do in this regard. The Initial EPS bearer
settings are part of the settings required during registration, even
before the modem gets connected, so NM doesn't really do anything in
that regard, it doesn't take care of "configuring disconnected
modems". If anything, a systems-level settings application should take
care of that configuration, e.g. the GNOME Settings app in a standard
Linux desktop.

mmcli has --3gpp-set-eps-ue-mode-operation=ps2 for that, but it will
only work if the modem supports +CEMODE; not all modems I've found
support it. And even so, I'm not sure if the CEMODE command would be
fully equivalent to that change in the settings with QNVFW, maybe ask
Quectel about that?

As with the initial EPS bearer settings, this is a registration
related setting, so NM knows nothing about any of that.
