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.
