Whatever works for you, but it's not really a fair characterization. It adds one problem and solves another dozen, at least in my case. And I don't really run into these difficult to diagnose issues too often.

It's like driving a car instead of walking is trading one problem for two.

I'm to blame actually, it does a lot more than config management, so I mischaracterized it myself.

Home Manager really doesn’t lead to many problems, and if you encounter any the NixOS community is wonderful. You can set up everything without understanding much of the Nix language by looking at other people’s configs on GitHub.

The new problem is pretty fun though!
