This works (ubuntu installation), slightly different x versions
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/xorg-ubuntu.conf
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/ubuntu.log

Taking xorg config from Ubuntu but using paths from nixos:
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/xserver-ubuntu-plain.conf
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/xserver-ubuntu-plain.conf.log

# Trynig to set BusID keeping most of nixos's config:
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/xorg-nixos.conf
  http://mawercer.de/tmp/xorg-nixos.conf.log

Best I got is being able to connect to blank screen by setting DISPLAY and
running xrandr:
  Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 8 x 8, maximum 16384 x 16384
  but HDMI is missing and sizes are missing
  manually setting a size -s 800x600 -> no windows appear.

Yes, I tried
  xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
  xrandr --auto

Yes I tried blacklisting nouveau (doesn't change anything)

xrandr output (runnig nouveau):
