(shameless plug, https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid provides a Nix-powered environment that's not NixOS though. also uses proot under the hood)

My opinion depends heavily on the availability of unprivileged mount namespaces. Despite having rooted devices as well, I don't have the energy to maintain two mechanisms at the same time...

If you have root, you can also do user mount namespaces. Outer login script will have to be modified to use them instead of proot. Pull requests are welcome.

1. aggressive powersaving? try "acquire wakelock" in notification 2. is disk space usage growing (can be seen in app properties)

If you're asking for my opinion, it's simple: system packages are there for hardware enablement (not applicable to n-o-d), non-user services and "recovery" packages that should be enough for hammering...
