System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: GTX 1060 6gb

Blender Version
Broken: 2.90.0-874af5301cdf (June 20)

Short description of error
Drivers on object modifiers that are driven by outliner settings (Hide in viewport, hide in render, etc.) won't work when toggling said outliner settings and has to be forced manually with Update Dependencies.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Have 2 cubes in a scene, Cube 1 and Cube 2.
Add a modifier on Cube 2 (In my case, a mask, in which Cube 2 is subdivided twice and has a vertex group)
Add a driver on the Realtime button on said mask modifier.
Have it be driven by Cube 1's "Disable in Viewports" button with the following settings:

Single Property
Property: Object Cube 1
Path: hide_viewport

Disabling Cube_1 from the viewport in the Outliner will not enable the driver on Cube_2's mask modifier.
Updating Dependencies in the driver editor will correct this.

After updating dependency, enabling Cube_1 will disable the mask in the viewport, although the mask is still enabled in the modifier tab. Clicking once in the viewport will correct this.

This may be already reported, but I can't find any open issue like this

I can reproduce it, but I'm not sure why this is in the Nodes & Physics module.

Sounds off to me as well, but I haven't questioned this. All reports should have module assigned, and Dependency Graph is listed under Nodes & Physics module in https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Modules

Toggling the hide_viewport property on Cube_1 causes this to be logged on the terminal:

add_relation(RNA Target -> Driver) - Could not find op_from (RnaPathKey(id: OBCube_1, prop: 'hide_viewport'))
add_relation(RNA Target -> Driver) - Failed, but op_to (OperationKey(type: PARAMETERS, component name: '', operation code: DRIVER, 'modifiers["Mask"].show_viewport')) was ok

Given that this issue was closed ¾ year ago, what you're seeing could be something different. Please file a new bug report, including an as-simple-as-possible example file and steps to reproduce.
