NixOS is a good server OS, except when it isn't
One technique employed by microvm.nix[0] is to mount the hosts /nix/store into the guest. This won't shrink the size of the system, but should allow it to be amortized across many different VMs.
I'm not sure how exploitable a read-only virtiofs share is, so this is perhaps not appropriate in some circumstances.

Make your QEMU 10 times faster with this one weird trick
FWIW, the contemporary alternative to 9p is virtiofs. It is implemented as a separate service that is running aside the hypervisor. Originally out of qemu, it was rewritten in Rust as a freestanding project that can also be used with cloud-hypervisor and crosvm.
