Does the multi-user mode work on SELinux-enabled systems and, if not, is it possible to install in single-user mode? The default installer's multi-user mode doesn't work with SELinux enforcing (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2374), and I didn't see a flag for enabling single-user mode when I used `install --help`. (There are some projects to make SELinux support work like https://github.com/dnkmmr69420/nix-with-selinux, but it's not clear to me if that would even work with this installer in particular.)

I'm on Fedora and had to turn SELinux off to get nix to work properly.
I commented elsewhere in the thread, but we have an open issue for SELinux support: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/1.... Hopefully we can get that rolling soon.
This would be huge for making Nix viable at certain organizations, as I'm sure you already understand! I would love to just be able to point people at an installer like this for usage with SELinux.
