I've worked in multiple nix-heavy environments, and I've come to really dislike it, despite thinking that Dolstra's thesis and core ideas are an important development in the space of package management. Everywhere it shows up it infects projects, creates constant breakage, and requires at least 1 person to become a nix expert, memorizing a bunch of esoteric nonsense. Basically it forces all of the adhoc nonsense of unix systems to be right in your face constantly, and leads to perpetual dependency limbo.
