2 weeks ago Rolling back to the current LTS release (Linux 6.6) and Linux 6.9 no longer causes this issue. It seems that the kernel has made some rather interesting changes to swapping behaviours since.
I scoured through some kernel changelogs to determine what may be possible causes. Has the time come to compile my own kernel?

This could have been due to a kernel update, or due to me missing some configuration for my zram, however as of the most recent commit f544d0e (and earlier),
nix-indexwill always fail as a result of invoking the oom-killer.nixpkgs-reviewwill also fail when attempting to run on a staging pr. Both have never failed at evaluation before, so this marks a pretty serious regression in terms of nix usability.
