You can absolutely use NixOS without understanding what the article goes through. For example, I use NixOS and I don't know any of this (but I'm looking forward to learning it).
For example, on other *Nixes, you install and uninstall packages, maybe configure them, but you're not BUILDING packages. All of the complexity of this article is in the superset of what you'd normally do.
For the most part, just add things to systemPackages in configuration and `nix-rebuild switch` or install via `nix-env -i` if you want user scoped installs.
