I have an equivalent setup that works fine. I also don't use mkfs.jfs
but mkfs.ext4. And I use systemd-boot:

  boot = {
    cleanTmpDir = true;
    initrd.luks.devices = [ {
      name = "nixroot";
      device = "/dev/nvme0n1p5";
      preLVM = true;
    } ];
    kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_4_7;
    loader = {
      systemd-boot.enable = true;
      efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
    };
  };

  fileSystems = {
    "/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixroot";
    "/boot".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM";
    "/home".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/home";
  };
