With regards to your Chrome issue: 1. How often did you update your Nixpkgs channel/flake input/etc? 2. What branch (nixos-XX.XX or unstable) were you using? 3. Were you using Chromium or Google Chrome? Chrom{e,ium} gets updated pretty quickly, but depending on a lot of factors, it may take time to make it into a channel. It should really never take 2 weeks though, which is why I ask the first question. You can also always track HEAD (or even a bump PR!) as the other commenter mentioned, though you might not want to do this if you're not using Google Chrome, as you probably don't want to build the browser ;)

It's possible there was something wrong with my flake config as it was a cargo culted hack job. I tried updating using unstable and it made no difference. I looked at nixpkgs head for chromium and I didn't see any update PRs landed or incoming. I asked on the community chat and whoever was the knowledgeable person answering questions at the time did confirm that it looked out of date. I'm sure I could have found a way if I persevered and ramped up properly. I just don't have that kind of time. Maybe after I retire I can pick up where I left off. I do suspect there's a big opportunity to build a shallower ramp onto nixos.
