In general nix packages are not reproducible in the sense that the output will be bit-for-bit identical.

A large amount aren't but, OTOH, a large amount also are because Nix does almost everything it can to set up an environment without easily preventable sources of non-determinism such as general filesystem access, networking or other means of communication with some uncontrolled system.
