Yocto is significantly better than what proceeded it. I could fill a book on ways it has pushed the envelope for embedded development.
Is Yocto a steaming pile? Yes absolutely. But it remains a means to an end.
I'd struggle to accomplish with Nix what can be accomplished out of the box with Yocto. Now that being said I'd certainly try and use Nix over Yocto any day of the week.
I remain optimistic and that the two will converge and it will more or less not matter, though I'd much prefer Nix to consume embedded development than Yocto become Nix-pilled.
