What I have learned from Nix is that polluting the global (user or system) environment is going to spell disaster at some point. Its obviously fixable in an obvious way, but why subject yourself to this nonsense in the first place. The only stuff I have in my global env is stuff I could actually use from almost anywhere, even non-code directories.

Nix isn't the only tool that solves this, there is acme and even per-compiler tools like nvm or cargo.
