I want to have similar kind of results for my next install of NixOS.

I don't see any issues with these subvolumes for NixOS (though I haven't used NixOS on btrfs, just assuming it works) – Create the partition and its subvolumes manually and then perform the steps at https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Btrfs. It shouldn't be an issue
