No. The Nix approach lets you retain the reuse, and it can be extended to allow quick, unified security patching as well (which has been done already in the Guix project).

And if you really want a single redistributable binary, any existing package can easily be bundled into one without recompiling it.

Traditional static linking is strictly worse.
