The lower number of symlinks and the ability to use $EPREFIX/etc/ld.so.cache with Gentoo Prefix might improve overall performance thanks to the lower overhead for the dynamic linker/loader $EPREFIX/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to locate the required dynamic libraries.

Looks ok but could elaborate a bit more, by adding a reference to NixOS/nixpkgs#44144 and for "the linker" you can be more specific and say "the dynamic linker/loader $EPREFIX/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"
Currently there is no documentation on why the project has chosen Gentoo Prefix over Nix.
This would be useful information to retain.
A few notes on the topic from a Slack conversation with Bart Oldeman at Compute Canada:
nix-shell
, but that would require users to learn how to use it. For example, see zlib headers are not linked in ~/.nix-profile/include. NixOS/nixpkgs#44144.$EPREFIX/etc/ld.so.cache
