I don't know how large or flexible your organization is, but I've been driving hard at my company (which is a bit shy of 100 employees) for using nix, and it's working. When I started advocating for it there was no small amount of skepticism, but we started off just using it for a very small and specific use case, and from there it has slowly but steadily gained acceptance from other developers (most of whom have no particular interest in FP) as a real solution to innumerable problems that we have w.r.t. package management. If you're interested in Guix/Nix, I'd encourage trying to get permission to use it to solve a specific problem.
