The Magic Nix Cache
One project cut their CI time from 18m to 3m: https://github.com/awkward-squad/hasql-interpolate/actions. I wonder who will see the biggest cut!
Note that when PRs merge to the default branch, their cache doesn't come with them. This is how GitHub Action's cache works, as a security measure. However: subsequent rebuilds will, and PRs off the default branch will too.

The Magic Nix Cache
You may find something like node2nix helpful (https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix). This converts your package.json into a Nix expression that can then be cached. You're right that it does require some setup and a bit of Nix knowledge but could yield significant benefits and take a good chunk out of that 20 minutes.
Another option might be to use pnpm instead of Yarn and cache your pnpm dependencies. pnpm actually works a bit like Nix in that it creates a pnpm-lock.yaml file with content-based hashes for the full package.json dependency tree. This enables it to quickly determine which parts of the dependency tree it needs to build and which are already available.

how to install Mozilla's readability library?
As Gerschtli commented, it may be possible to generate a Nix expression for @mozilla/readability using node2nix. Then get its node_modules path like this and set NODE_PATH to the value.

How to install dependencies with Nix?
For node programs, you may be able to find the commands as just packages, or look at https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix for creating the nix equivalent of a node-modules
