Author here. We've been using our Nix based build tool for nearly 3 years (and 14M+ builds) and have came to the realization that the way we used Nix was problematic. So we've starting building a new non-Nix based tool that generates BuildKit LLB directly and allows us to store virtual lock files for user dependencies so that builds are more stable.

Have you tried GNU Guix (the package manager, not the system) as a viable option to replace your Nix usage?
