NixOS makes it very easy to declaratively configure servers. For example the users config to manage UNIX users: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options#opt-users.users
That's not much of an answer, I'm not reading docs because you can't be bothered. I don't use NixOS, so if you want to use that as an example, you'll need to put in the effort to explain how it's different.
If you don't want to use LDAP, don't. Then you get to manage each user account on each device.
To be frank, it seems like you have an adversarial attitude about this, and you think NixOS is the answer. Every one of your responses has been "but" whatever. You don't seem like you want to understand how to use things, just complain it doesn't work the way you think it should.
