The Saudis appear to be sophisticated diplomatically, not militarily.

To the extent that hiring mercenaries is a diplomatic rather than a military action I agree. But remember they did get F-15 fighters. And unlike most of the other Arab/Persian countries they put a lot of effort into training their pilots and ground crews.
I'm not saying they wouldn't buy nukes. I'm just saying that if they bought them they would take delivery. And their diplomatic sophistication would make darn sure nobody knew about it until the weapons were received, deployed and ready to go.
