NixOS and My Descent into Insanity
Have you tried https://github.com/nickel-lang/nickel-nix ?
I didn't use it yet, but looks like this supposed to do it.

The guide to software development with Guix
These days those aren't the only options; you can also use Nickel: https://github.com/nickel-lang/nickel-nix
Which isn't fully baked, no, but here's hoping.

Announcing Nickel 1.0, a configuration language written in (and usable from) Rust
One target-use case of Nickel is to be used as an alternative front-end for Nix (instead of Nix expressions). There is a draft RFC and a repository to use Nickel to write development shell (Nixel). The goal is that, one day, you can actually just transparently call to Nix code and into Nixpkgs. Until then, I totally understand that nothing can be the power of levering Nixpkgs... so your approach makes sense :)
