Running a private mail server for six years, easy peasy
I’ve been using this https://github.com/r-raymond/nixos-mailserver for 4 years for my personal mail and I haven’t had a single issue in that time. I think it takes me about the same amount of time as you to maintain but I also have a next cloud server running on the same machine.

Installing Python/PIP tools with home-manager
(taken from https://github.com/siraben/dotfiles/blob/master/home-manager/.config/nixpkgs/python-packages.nix) but that did not even download the packages in question.

Make Linux Fast Again
I had the exact same kernel parameters in my NixOS configuration[0] and after some benchmarks (mostly Emacs-related) I observed a 10-15% speedup, pretty neat.

Using LSP in Emacs and Debian
Note that when you use LSP with Emacs, installing language servers can quickly lead to dependency hell. I use home-manager[0] to specify which language servers I want installed[1] (among other things such as compilers for different languages) so integration with Emacs is reproducible.

How to write a linter using tree-sitter in an hour
Using Nix and home-manager I'm able to have this setup with Emacs work across Linux and macOS (x86 and arm64) because it compiles the grammars from Nixpkgs itself (the grammar list can also be augmented declaratively with other grammars).

How to Learn Nix
I recently got into running my own NixOS server—setting up Nextcloud[0], a website[1], DNS server and most recently a mail server[2] were all incredibly easy, in fact, setting up DNS records is more involved than configuring a mail server on NixOS! This was all done on a server with less than 10 GB of disk space as well.
With additional software such as NixOps, personal servers can also be easily spun up and provisioned.
While inevitably there are rough edges if you look deeply enough, I think the default OOTB experience has been incredible for use on a server and as a day-to-day distro. Highly predictable and declarative configurations is the way to go.
