I do the same, it is fantastic. I have my work laptop, personal laptop and desktop using a nearly identical configuration (a tiny bit of extra software for work) and it is really a breeze. It felt amazing to install the new work laptop in well under and hour and having everything just work. No more slowly realizing that X hasn't been set up and Y hasn't been installed for the next month or two.
I documented my steps to install a new machine publicly if anyone is interested. It isn't fully automated but a fairly small number of steps to get everything set up. https://kevincox.ca/2021/05/06/workstation-install-with-nixos/ https://kevincox.ca/2021/05/06/workstation-install-with-nixo...
