with the flake input config:

inputs = {
  lix-module = {
    url = "git+https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };

  nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs?rev=4ae2e647537bcdbb82265469442713d066675275";
};

using the inputs.lix-module.nixosModules.default module overlay forces a manual build of webkitgtk-* packages which is problematic as it requires an enormous amount of CPU time and RAM to build. Removing the module from my configuration solved this problem and fetched webkitgtk-* from the nixpkgs hydra cache again. Perhaps the lix-module overlay is changing one of webkitgtk-*s dependencies?

that's a packaging bug in a webkitgtk dependency:
