After installing nix using the old method and realizing the created volume was unencrypted I attempted to reinstall using the most recent version of abathur's installer from NixOS/nix/#4289. It went through a number of steps. to remove the pre-existing install and failed mounting the disk.
A second run of the same produced a working install.
The full nix install log follows:

Switching to the Multi-user Installer
Welcome to the Multi-User Nix Installation
This installation tool will set up your computer with the Nix package
manager. This will happen in a few stages:
1. Make sure your computer doesn't already have Nix. If it does, I
will show you instructions on how to clean up your old install.
2. Show you what we are going to install and where. Then we will ask
if you are ready to continue.
3. Create the system users and groups that the Nix daemon uses to run
builds.
4. Perform the basic installation of the Nix files daemon.
5. Configure your shell to import special Nix Profile files, so you
can use Nix.
6. Start the Nix daemon.
Would you like to see a more detailed list of what we will do?

---- let's talk about sudo -----------------------------------------------------
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time we do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.
Just like this:
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo echo
to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look
This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. We used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:
Can we use sudo?
[y/n] y
Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!
~~> Fixing any leftover Nix volume state
Before I try to install, I'll check for any existing Nix volume config
and ask for your permission to remove it (so that the installer can
start fresh). I'll also ask for permission to fix any issues I spot.
---- Found existing Nix volume -------------------------------------------------
special: disk1s7
uuid: 023367B4-9F80-4D37-94C9-32A97AE8FEF2
encrypted: no
---- warning! ------------------------------------------------------------------
FileVault is on, but your Nix Store volume isn't encrypted.
Should I encrypt it and add the decryption key to your keychain?
[y/n] y
Volume Nix Store on Nix Store mounted
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo /usr/bin/security -i
to add your Nix volume's password to Keychain
Password:
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil apfs encryptVolume Nix Store -user disk -stdinpassphrase
to encrypt your Nix volume
Encrypting with the new "Disk" crypto user on disk1s7
The new "Disk" user will be the only one who has initial access to disk1s7
The new APFS crypto user UUID will be 023367B4-9F80-4D37-94C9-32A97AE8FEF2
Encryption has likely completed due to AES hardware; see "diskutil apfs list"
Volume Nix Store on disk1s7 force-unmounted
During install, I add 'nix' to /etc/synthetic.conf, which instructs
macOS to create an empty root directory for mounting the Nix volume.
Can I remove /etc/synthetic.conf?
[y/n] y
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo rm /etc/synthetic.conf
to remove /etc/synthetic.conf
During install, I add '/nix' to /etc/fstab so that macOS knows what
mount options to use for the Nix volume.
Can I remove /etc/fstab?
[y/n] y
---- sudo execution ------------------------------------------------------------
I am executing:
$ sudo rm /etc/fstab

---- Preparing a Nix volume ----------------------------------------------------
Nix traditionally stores its data in the root directory /nix, but
macOS now (starting in 10.15 Catalina) has a read-only root directory.
To support Nix, I will create a volume and configure macOS to mount it
at /nix.

Jeeze, something went wrong. If you can take all the output and open
an issue, we'd love to fix the problem so nobody else has this issue.
:(
We'd love to help if you need it.
