Yeah, that's certainly true of Nixops. My understanding of Disnix, though,
is that it let's you describe, separately, services in the abstract,
machines available for running them, and the deployment of abstract
services onto the physical machines.

Disnix seems to be dead, though, so even if what you're proposing is very
similar, it would be a big improvement on the current state of the art.
