I've contributed to the Ublue project (https://ublue.it/ https://ublue.it/) and it's totally a game changer to me. I can have my system image with the proprietary Nvidia drivers and all the packages I want on my host declared, built and signed in the cloud. Ublue also has an automatic system update service which means all of the upstream updates to the host system just get pulled and are avaible after a reboot.
Mostly everything not completely necessary on the host is installed as a flatpak, and I have an archlinux container/distrobox for all of my development needs. I've actually grown to love the distrobox system, as I never have to think about breaking or polluting my host system when installing new packages. GUI apps work flawlessly too, and I've heard that the integration is even better than with flatpaks, with GTK apps using the system theme automatically, and Libreoffice apps in different containers (which you probably shouldn't do either way) just work.
