I appreciate the detail and the exploration of the problem in the document... and the use of org-mode ;) You might want to look at http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2014/10/deploying-npm-packages-with-nix-package.html and http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com/2016/02/managing-npm-flat-module-installations.html also if you haven't already, but this looks like a quite solid proposal to me. If it succeeds, it could have a large amount of impact. - Chris
