Sounds good in theory but there are a couple reasons to use docker. The first is that there are endless packages already prepared for docker that you'd have to manually set up on any OS, let alone Nix. For instance "itzg/minecraft-server". The second is that if you use docker you've got control of where all the stateful volume data sits. I keep it all in one folder for easy backup. The rest of the system is fully managed by nix.
