How well does nix-darwin survive macOS updates?

Installed nix-darwin on 26.0, on a fresh M4 air. I have updated since updated macos to 26.2 through the normal method, no wacky nix stuff there. no issues. no clue on major version changes, but nix-darwin is essentially the nix config language parsed to then run the necessary set of scripts.

I installed on macos14? Maybe 13? And have had minimal trouble since.

Comparable to the amount of breakage I regularly had with homebrew.
