I do the exact opposite: I put almost everything into the system
packages.

Why:

I have several machines (currently only one on NixOS, actively used,
another one not used by now). I have the configuration.nix split into
several files and put everything under version control. I have several
"sets" of packages (base, gaming, development, media, etc) and I have
one main file for each host. This way I can do DRY. I put a new
package in, say, developPackages.nix and all new machines get it after
a short git pull && nixos-rebuild switch.
