Nix: An idea whose time has come
I would be surprised if there are any binaries that are outright impossible to run under Nix. I spent a weekend getting Xilinx ISE to run in Nix [0], that is a binary behemoth. It uses bubblewrap (already used in Nixpkgs) to setup a bunch of bind mounts so that the binaries see a standard FHS Linux layout.

The Curse of NixOS
Yeah I agree here, I used to find Nix somewhat unintuitive but I have now managed a few non-trivial projects. One being to package Xilinx ISE as a flake [0], and another to build a non-volatile Linux image using busybox and runit [1]. For the latter I still haven't quite gotten where I want but that's because I realised I needed dbus for avahi and dbus is just so ridiculously complex.
