Nix/OS definitely has some rough edges and discovery problems.
I can't comment directly on home manager, and I have had to put a lot of work into adopting Nix, but FWIW I'm happily using it to manage my NixOS desktop at home (since early 2018; my first daily-driver Linux system) and my macbook (since late 2018--though, caution: Nix hasn't really settled into Catalina yet).
Not quite sure how to express it. I guess the ecosystem isn't yet a full-throated embodiment of its own vision for computing. But, if you buy into the vision enough to sweat a little for it, it is livable.
