Yes, these are very cool features and it's good to be aware of hack-nix and thank you for pointing it out. It's just not perfect for me right now, since for a system that is about distributing development environment to multiple computers, compiling everywhere from scratch is not good enough. But I'm sure that I'll find places where hack-nix is perfect and I will try to remember to use them there instead of reinventing something worse.
