The difference is that you can blow the Nix cache away and reproduce it entirely. The same cannot be said for Docker.

That's not true
Docker has a `--no-cache` flag, even easier than blowing it away, which you can also do with several built in commands or a rm -rf /var/lib/docker
Perhaps worth revisiting: https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/
That will rebuild the cache from upstream but not reproducibly.
