Unlikely to happen (with the author anyway). From TFA:

#14This looks interesting. I just set up an Alpine Diskless system that boots from a USB stick.
I originally tried to set up a NixOS diskless system with persistence for the same reason as the author but the LLM jerked me around and I had little understanding of the implications of the commands I was using. So I thought it best to pull the plug on that and stick with something more familiar.

#15You can do the same from an USI made from mkosi (mainstream distros support) with kernel boot parameter systemd.volatile=overlay. https://github.com/rhee876527/UKIfy-Xubuntu
