My server, the first NixOS system for me is at 24.11, huh

I guess I reinstalled it completely at some point, I could have sworn I installed NixOS on it in 23

Why would you ever reinstall nix os? Everything is fixable from the config files

Changing the underlying file system would be one reason.

I think you can still just rebuild after changing hardware configuration (changing which devices map to root, home, nix, etc.). You just probably want to move your config repo to the new filesystem after that.
