Yes! I knew that those are comparable to devenv.sh (what my team uses; love it!) in terms of environment management but wasn't yet aware of whether or not they also have task runners like one might use to build CI/CD pipeline logic.

I also want to say that this approach has largely spared my team the pain many users seem to have with Docker on aarch64 Macs. Nix works well on both aarch64 and x86_64, and doesn't require emulation to run. This is really more appropriate for running development tools locally, I think.
