As a professional nix shill, I can proudly tell you every flatpak I ever wanted to use is packaged in nixpkgs

Agreed, much prefer running apps via nix. Although I did have to fall back to flatpak install the bottles, but that is a bit of a special case where the software explicitly requires itself to be sandboxed or behaves less as expected otherwise.
