I agree with you. Apple Music is particularly annoying. I recommend this free little utility: https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes
Not having to install apps like Rectangle to snap windows into desired areas.

The Determinate Systems nix installer is quite smooth: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/
Though it does tend to get clobbered on macOS updates.
Indeed!
I’ve also dabbled in this area http://leopard.sh/
Yeah, that's a long-running and pretty much unfixable issue as macOS updates overwrite /etc/zshrc. AFAIK, the determinate systems installer does somewhat resolve this as you can just run it again and it will fix the issue.
The default installer is not idempotent yet (and my work on trying to resolve that has stalled, unfortunately, see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7603), so trying to run it again to fix this issue will result in errors.
Have you explored https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher?
I have used it before and, in my experience and everyone else I know who has used it, the vast majority of time the newer versions run absolutely fine with no issues. Occasionally some newer features don't work, but I'd but confident that 2015/2017 iMacs would be able to run the latest version no problem.
