There will not be a simple config, because the template flake is already simple enough.
The current template flake repo only contains and only contain what is needed for ZFS. Not even desktop environment is enabled. It is not advanced and I will keep it that way. It can be used as traditional configuration.nix.
I will not repeat myself here and I think you have already read my arguments against the previous approach elsewhere, which was to parse and edit the output of nixos-generate-config. It was a nightmare to maintain and I personally will not do that.
and also recommend an advanced flake repo for those who want a more opinionated setup for how to do many features.
No advanced configuration will be documented here or be considered for inclusion in the template flake repo.
I imagine recommending starting with an template flake repo and then use their own repo to track changes manage their hosts with it.
The repo used right now is already a template and I have already recommended in the guide to track changes with git.
At least the flake repo is how I plan to manage my hosts and I imagine it is how others with several hosts do as well. The guide could point people in the right direction for those cases.
The template flake repo used in the guide already supports per-host configuration.
Irrelevant to the guide, I am using this same repo to for managing my several laptops and a home server. You can view the complete configuration inside the "personal" branch of my repo.
