I don’t need reproducibility to the extent that NixOS provides

Alright, that's fair. As a programmer, I've been having a blast using it - being able to quickly setup my laptops almost the same as my desktop is such a breath of fresh air, then being able to copy over most of my config to a WSL setup to employ nix to get there 90% of the way on a Debian or Ubuntu WSL system is just so nice.

But if you don't need its features, or aren't a programmer, I can very much imagine you'd rather stick to a more stateful system.
