I can not speak for Nix, but openSUSE has around 10 more or less powerful ARM 
servers for native building. See https://build.opensuse.org/monitor

Some weeks ago i did some research on ARM servers. TL;DR There are some 
options, even fast ones, but its not easy to found shops who sell them and have 
them in stock...
