Thank you @dyegoaurelio for re-opening this discussion. For linking reasons: There was another one three years ago Nautilus remember view - View mode setting should be persistent for each directory -GNOME Discourse
I am happy about any way this can be re-implemented 
. I can second what wfpoulet wrote on gitlab:" …a user wants to always view some directories by list (example: ~/Projects/src) and others by icons (example: ~/Pictures)."
This feature was part of Nautilus before it was axed more than 10 years ago as mentioned “because of confusion for users, a source of bugs and a maintenance burden”.
Hopefully the implementation can now be in a way that there is less confusion and less of maintenance burden.
Maybe the default could be like it is now, with an option to have the folder view be saved for the users who want that (like @dyegoaurelio proposed).
