I also have fuse and sshfs in environment.systemPackages so this should work.

What's the contents of /var/setuid-wrappers/fusermount.real?  It should be
something like /nix/store/...-system-path/bin/fusermount.  If it's
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/fusermount, then fusermount couldn't be found
in the system path so the setuid wrapper generator fell back to using the system
profile.  (See /etc/nixos/nixos/modules/security/setuid-wrappers.nix.)
