I'm wondering if there is a new tool out there that I'm missing out on.

I’m all in on nix with home-manager these days. Really seems like an ideal framework for my dotfiles and of all the systems I’ve tried over the years this is the one I’m happiest with.

Hell of a learning curve, though.

Yep it's like maintaining a codebase that's getting increasingly better. It's a rabbit-hole and a timesink (kind of because you're trying to get the best out of it, and thus configure likely more) but I think it's worth it. It gets better overtime as well
