It's not reproducible then, it's simply cached. It's a valid approach but there's tradeoffs of course.

it's not an either or, it can be reproducible and cached

similarly, nix cannot guarantee reproducibility if the user does things to break that possibility

The difference is that you can blow the Nix cache away and reproduce it entirely. The same cannot be said for Docker.
