Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL
Screen sharing seems to be a difficult problem to resolve. Zoom only just resolved this recently[1], Webex has been promising a fix for a while[2], and Skype still hasn't done anything[3].

Important info for Skype users on Fedora
Alternatively one can use the Flatpak packaged Skype.

Can we have an objective, non-FUD, user-centric comparison/discussion of Snap and Flatpak for 2021?
I have no idea if that is true or not, I haven't used Skype for more than a decade. But, an app running as a Flatpak can't directly create files in /etc/ even if that directory was exposed in the sandbox (which it isn't in the Skype flatpak, as you can see here), just like any other process running as a non-root user can't create files in /etc/ (unless your permissions on /etc/ are severely messed up). So if what you claim is true, it has nothing to do with Flatpak's sandbox or with portals. And since in the default configuration the pulseaudio daemon (which is running outside the sandbox) does not run as root either, I severly doubt that what you claim here is true at all.

NixOS Reproducible Builds: minimal ISO successfully independently rebuilt
Ansible makes mutable changes to the OS, task by task.
Nix is immutable. A new change is made entirely new, and only after the build is successful, all packages are "symlinked" to the current system.
Fedora Silverblue is based on ostree [1]. It works similarly like git, but on your root tree. But it requires you to reboot the whole system for the changes to take effect. Since Nix is just symlinked packages, you don't need to reboot the system.
More detailed explanation here [2].

PSA: Flatpaks are currently broken on Fedora. Here's a temporary solution.
This one is for the ostree bug currently ongoing: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2900

flatpak issue on fedora 38 kde
This sounds related to the ostree bug.
- ostree-system-generator failed with exit status 1 on every boot after update.
-
What do you prefer more and why?
I definitely agree that immutability offers considerable value in regards to improving security. But arguably it's insufficient to pull the win over mutable Fedora due to the losses caused by the inability to install the kernel-hardened package and the lack of UKI (Unified Kernel Image) support.
-
Question about immutability
Other hardening guides mention a Unified Kernel Image as another measure to further improve security. Unfortunately, once more, this is (currently) not supported on Fedora Silverblue. I haven't seen it being done on openSUSE Aeon either. Though, once again, I'd love to be corrected!
-
Does an immutable system really provide enhanced security?
The fedora crew is working on it through ostree though, so both fedora Silverblue and flatpak will be getting it (as well as true immutability) in the future: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2867
-
Silverblue/ Kinoite - real-life shortcomings?
Aside from what has already been mentioned, Unified Kernel Image isn't supported (yet).
