> Nix, bazel, and yocto/openembeded are some mature systems that can build container images without actually using docker or Dockerfiles - they just produce the layer tar files (OCI image) directly.

Do they support layering? This is one feature of Docker that makes it bearable, especially for iterative development.

Answering for Nix and its dockerTools: short answer yes (https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#ssec-pkgs-docker...), though half of the benefits of using "layers" in docker-land are already solved by Nix's build-caching system. So the advantages gained by "layers" are mostly around image size.
