tl;dr: here are three commercial embedded NixOS uses and a couple of other embedded NixOS projects
1. LumiGuide uses NixOS for their embedded systems, which track automatic bicycle rentals at little solar-powered stations IIRC: https://av.tib.eu/media/39625 https://av.tib.eu/media/39625 (also some coverage here: https://www.worksonarm.com/blog/nixos/ https://www.worksonarm.com/blog/nixos/ )
2. Yakkertech uses NixOS for their embedded systems, which do baseball pitch tracking: https://av.tib.eu/media/50713 https://av.tib.eu/media/50713
3. Swift Navigation uses NixOS for CI/CD for the embedded systems they use for GPS and navigation: https://blog.swiftnav.com/using-nixos-to-manage-hardware-testing-environments/ https://blog.swiftnav.com/using-nixos-to-manage-hardware-tes...
I'd only heard of the first two, and discover the third just now.
There are also two downstream distros/related projects that target embedded systems, but idk how much commercial use they've yet seen, if any:
a. https://github.com/telent/nixwrt https://github.com/telent/nixwrt
b. https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os
