Yup, the official nixos repo is about the same size as the AUR, so you get all the same packages, and they're usually more up to date.

The only drawbacks for availability is that writing your own packages is harder, and there are some quirks if you're trying to use appimages. But overall, really good for daily driving, and it's really easy to request new packages on the nixpkgs Github if anything is missing.
