If this setup could be combined with an easy way to customize things, like ublue (https://ublue.it/) lets you customzie fedora silverblue using Dockerfile configs, I'd adopt it in a heartbeat.

I’d think configuration.nix would be enough?

I have yet to find a non customisable nixos component. It'd a source system that's excellent at building from source so there's always a way.

Sorry, I was unclear, by easy I meant simple. Dockerfiles are simple. I've yet to find an equivalently simple way with Nix.

I haven't tried it but I would suggest looking here for some inspiration https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Containers
