a lot of software support including configuration files, so what I do is that my configuration has a permanent configuration and a temporary configuration through including a "local" file. This even helps as a workaround to managing secrets for some stubborn stuff to which you need to put some api key or password on a text file (shitty software exist). Otherwise, I haven't seen much problem with managing home with home-manager. I also can load the same config with the nixos and darwin modules.
