Agree. I think the core of the problem was that we didn't get a discussion before implementation.
We got an implementation and then were given chance to discuss upon. So when the discussion pointed out flaws, since so much work was already put in, it was decided to push as experimental instead of starting from square 1. But now that implementation was available for everyone with simple flag change (a strength of Nix, if I might say), adventurers started using them. And since these adventurers have outsized impact in terms of mind share projection, the community looks divided and confuses the hell out of newcomers. I know I struggled with this because when I started learning 'The Nix Way™', flakes were the hotness and everywhere, but the documentation sucked, but still looked like they were the future so I had to wade my through anyway.
