Funny that you mention Niri, because I've been getting my ducks in a row to switch from Gnome + PaperWM to Niri, and I was wishing it could be as safe as Nix or some of the other atomic options.

If it helps, NixOS makes it REALLY easy to switch from Gnome to Niri and back, all it takes is to comment in one of the DEs and comment out the other.
