Docker is not only about dependency management. It also offers service “composing”, via docker compose, and network isolation for each service.
Although I personally love Nix, and I run NixOS on some of my servers, I do not believe it can replace Docker/Podman. Unless you go the NixOS Containers route.
Dev containers have been dead for a long time.

Maybe to the two dozen nix users. To all others dev containers are very well alive.
Lol. Its the largest and most updated repo of any but by all means, “dozen” hahaha

Interfaces,vlans and capable gateway. Except instead of the vendor lock in you have access to the gold standards of which all out scale
I am trying to understand.
Docker, which uses OCI containers that are supported by Docker, Podman, Containerd, systemd-nspawn, etc, is lock-in.
But Nix Shells, which require Nix, are not lock-in.
Also, how are you going to run Nix shells in VLANs? They run on the host’s network namespace.
