They did; it's called Nix, and they wrote a blog post about it ;)
May I ask why you didn't use something like Ansible to build such a complex image? With appropriate package version pinning (which it's the real crux here) it should work well enough to get a reproducible build.
I understand it would already have been something different from a pure Dockerfile so it's not that fair to compare buuut...
