About using Nix in my development workflow
I've _tried_ going down this route a couple times, with mixed success. Thus far the best experience has been with [lorelei](https://github.com/shajra/direnv-nix-lorelei), which does a decent job making Nix and Direnv play nice and being relatively transparent and forgettable once set up.
Still feels like I don't know what's going on under Nix's hood, though. That syntax...

About using Nix in my development workflow
You're basically right. I'm not 100% sold on this idea, but I think it's a possibility. Most of what I'm seeing right now is CUE facing outward, e.g., to generate typed things from within nix. This[1] is a good example of that. Given how flexible CUE is, and given how similar nix is to HCL, I think it's possible to have CUE emit nix and provide some basic typing that way.
