Guix is fine. Some people complain about the "speed" of it and some people who want to game say it's a no go. I haven't played around much with it myself so I can't speak on it first hand so YMMV.

Its viability strongly depends on your use case, and how much you're willing to torture yourself with maintaining a Lisp config

At least Scheme is a kind of established language that has uses outside of this specific application.

One of the "What's Stopping it" arguments this article makes about Nix is it's "arcane syntax", to the point that the first thing proposed was to replace the Nix language with something more standard.

No arguments there :\ As much as I love nixos, nix is a horrible language
