In my case one of the problems that started the downward spiral was the versions shipped of gnutls in
fedora which  didnt work with emacs.

The separate aproach of building all the dependencies emacs need in a
separate build environment does work, like the Guix aproach.

I could probably convince guix to do what I want, but guix is also
fiddly. I was just wondering if somebody else had a solution for a
reproducible development environment for emacs.

Maybe I'm the only one facing these difficulties, that's fine I guess.
