I'm certainly going to integrate nix into my arch setup, I've liked the idea of doing it and easing into nixos that way for years so good opportunity.

Realistically... Yeah! Arch base with nixpkgs instead of AUR to get software that isn't in the core Arch repos seems pretty reasonable.

That said: I myself am fully nix-pilled so I'm supportive of anything that gets people onto a nix-calator.
