If you load all your plugins this way, I think you are more just using nix as a lazy.nvim templating engine. The plugins themselves should ideally come from nix itself. You get amazing build caching this way (not that building should take that long), reliability, reproducibility, ... and more --ility's. :)

I would read up on nix-community/nixvim#421. There is a lot of effort there to get true lazy loading of plugins while using nix to build and configure them. It seems like there is a new PR that was merged that potentially allows lazy loading lua:
