Packaging for nix is exceptionally easy once you learn it. And once something is packaged, it's solved for all, it's not going to randomly break.

If you care about getting it to work with minimal effort right now more thar about it being sustainable later, then sure.

Most of the complaints I've seen about Nix about around documentation, so "once you learn it" might be the larger issue.

I don't in ow if I'd say it's "easy". The Python ecosystem in particular is quite hard to get working in a hermetic way (Nix or otherwise). Multiple attempts at getting Python easy to package with Nix have come and gone over the years.
