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.

Is there a nixos solution for hyperconverged infrastructure?

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.

Show me the way to cloud infra
You may be interested in something like https://github.com/astro/skyflake too. I have not tried it personally but I think the microvm route has potential.
