NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
Those Linode instructions are about installing an OS from an installation ISO from Linode's rescue mode. -- I'd consider that more a 'plus' to Linode that you get to be able to install whatever unsupported Linux on Linode's VMs. But, of course it's not as smooth as the officially supported images.
Sibling comment mentions that NixOS provides ways to build VM images (e.g. https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators has a generator specifically for Linode).
Another option is to use nixos-infect, which will replace a Linux distribution with a NixOS distribution. https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect
> At that point, I feel like all of the repeatability gains are gone. If I want to spin up a fresh server, I have to read a guide and set stuff up by hand?
Just as with ansible, "git pull to deploy". You'd keep a copy of your NixOS configuration.nix somewhere else, and would be able to apply it later.
> it really does let me just get a new VPS and deploy to it very fast
Using a tool you're familiar with to get the job done is going to be faster than learning to use a tool you're unfamiliar with.
I believe much of the use of NixOS is for hobby stuff, and for personal machines. (c.f. "In what environments do you use Nix", Development (1242) vs Home Server (845) vs Production (386) https://discourse.nixos.org/t/2022-nix-survey-results/18983).

Flake to make NixOS iso
You should take a look at NixOS Generators, it's a flake with configs to build common formats like ISO, LXC, Docker, etc. I use that to generate an ISO with my config, specifically the packages.iso section.

[NixOS] How to Migrate From one Server to another? KVM to VMware
I haven't migrated machines from one vm provider to vmware, but I have provided a number of pregenerated nixos images (along the line of https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators) to clients to install onto vmware (and other - hyperv, xen, qemu, physical) hosts.

Poetry2nix: mismatch cryptography sha256 but unable to modify
This looks really strange because I do not know how to solve it and also because it looks like the sha256 that I am setting is not the one that Nix will match. I read also https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix/issues/413 but I was not able to solve the problem.

As if there weren't enough packaging tools already: mitsuhiko/rye: an experimental alternative to poetry/pip/pipenv/venv/virtualenv/pdm/hatch/…
There's a project that does this with using Nix: https://github.com/takeda/nix-cde (this is a wrapper around https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix)

Setting up Stabe Diffusion on NixOS
A cleaner way might be to use https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix which can load poetry.lock inside Nix. I still need to try it for torch, but it does seem like a clean way to use it.
