I have given up installing node dependencies via Nix. I use Nix to make nodejs available but then install node deps with npm/yarn/pnpm.

Node packages sometimes pull additional files from the internet in a postinstall script, or do other funky stuff that's incompatible with Nix. So the idea that you can construct a pure derivation from a package-lock.json or yarn.lock file is a pipe dream.
