You should try it. Nix/NixOS/nixpkgs is really great and if you are just a user or do occasional PRs, you are unlikely to be affected by anything.

I worry though as politics and the way the org is run can impact the end user; maybe not today, but in a year. That's my concern with these style projects, there seems to be no real leader. Say what you will about Linus Torvalds, and there's a lot to be said, he really does care about the quality of the project.
