I think you need a udev rule to export the wwn like

  KERNEL=="nvme*[0-9]n*[0-9]", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", ATTRS{wwid}=="?*", ENV{ID_WWN}="$attr{wwid}"

And multipathd conf needs to use that attribute for uid for NVME,
uid_attribute = "ID_WWN".

These should be there by default if you've very recent versions (within
the last 6 weeks) of multipath-tools and systemd installed.

If your kernel has CONFIG_SCSI_DH set, you'll also need this recent
kernel commit:
