I wonder, wouldn’t a NixOS Asahi fork make sense? It has proper, fail-safe updates (you can select the previous version in the boot menu) and reproducible package builds even for very finicky configs.

The only actual problematic update I'm aware of was the one where grub broke, and if grub breaks, being able to select the previous system state from grub doesn't really help.

It should be noted GRUB itself didn’t break at all. Hector used a bad config which broke things, and the fix was to replace that config with a new one. GRUB did exactly what it was told to do.
