Forigve me, but wouldn’t that imply the reverse could also be achieved? That blocking that nerve could send the immune system into action, allowing a more non-drug-centric approach to fighting infections?

I think the immune system, to turn on effectively, needs to have things to aim at. Just turning it on, which is what auto-immune diseases do, just have it attack the body itself. I’ve got auto-immune issues, but I can get sick as easy as the next fellow.
