We have some problems in our custom runner with this action so I've tried it with skipping the installation via the included action and it works in our runners (we do not use the GitHub provided ones, we are using custom runners).
In case you are wondering which action we are using, we use: cachix/install-nix-action@v23 - I guess it has something to do with the usage of sudo in the other action but I'm not 100% sure on that.
I'm also not sure about the differences between these two actions so I've opted for the possibility to skip the installation rather than changing the action as I guess you've put a lot of thought into which action to use.
Edit: I need to correct myself, it's not because of sudo but because of systemd. I tried to run the action without systemd by passing in init: none and planner: linux-multi but I got other errors. So I would prefer to be able to just skip the installation and use my own / a different action to install nix.
