Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

As far as AUR is concerned, one should be fair. The things that are offered in AUR can be problematic in general. No matter if you use vanilla Arch or a distribution based on Arch. Because not everyone who offers something in the AUR cares about updates in a timely manner or at all.
There is definitely a reason why https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/ exists. Just as there is a reason why there is a general warning about the AUR (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository).
With Manjaro, I rather see the problem that the team responsible for it apparently does not learn from its mistakes, so that, for example, the SSL certificate of the website has not been renewed several times (https://web.archive.org/web/20230706060943/https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/). That may not be a big problem in itself, but if even such little things go wrong, then I personally cannot trust an entire distribution.
