To have your Nix-based setup reproducible across different OS (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, WSL2, MacOS, and NixOS), and have an extensible base config that can be customized to different situations, the go-to framework is home-manager (not NixOS, which only works on NixOS, or NixOS on WSL 2).

You have implemented a form of ‘ad-hoc polymorphism’.

This is different from ‘parametric polymorphism’, which is what people call generics.

You might be interested in nickel (https://nickel-lang.org/), which is a modern take on configuration management based on the experience of Nix/NixOS configurations: purely functional configuration, built-in validation (types & contracts), reusable (functions, modules, defaults), and in addition exports to Yaml, Json, etc.

To integrate nickel with nix, see how organist (https://github.com/nickel-lang/organist) does DevShell management.
