Possible; I don't have a feel for the relative likelihoods. I think the thing nix has going for it is that you can write a nix package definition without having to actually hardcode anything in and nix itself will give you the defaults to make ex. compilers be deterministic/reproducible, and automate handling flake.lock so you don't have to actually pay attention to the pins yourself. Or put differently; you can make either one reproducible, but nix is designed to help you do that while docker really doesn't care.
