I also had to battle with the generated xorg.conf configuration for my touchpad... ouchie. The theoretical difficulty of updating a program in presence of schema upgrade was not as big a hurdle as the practical difficulty of testing with all the indirections in X configuration.

It might have, but I was a bit low on disk and had to nix-collect-garbage at some point, which I don't know how to use in a nicer way where I could pin some stable old versions to keep.

I upgraded OpenBSD on my laptop from 6.2 through every release to 6.5 an then switched to -current. Everything “just worked” (tm). Proves nothing, but I wonder if u could even find such a person in the fascinating distroverse that is Linux. Wait, NixOS is Linux, right?

Nixpkgs is an interesting case of a project becoming operationally too expensive despite excellent technology. Changes to the tech would help but likely not sufficient by itself. Fwiw: we have to run our own CI/CD of nixpkgs to avoid breakage like this.
