nixos-option was originally added as an exception because it linked to CppNix internals, but this is no longer true as of 25.05 (see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/369151). It now appears to work with Lix, so the override can be removed.

Our testing of this leaves much to be desired since we don't use nixos-option regularly, but basic usage seems to work (on a nixos-unstable system with Lix version 2.94.0pre-243836ed / still works with 2.96.0-dev7831c98a4db5):

~> nixos-option i18n.defaultLocale -I "nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"
fetching path input 'path:/nix/store/c9asdiqw1rf5qwdjz26f57hp68ppb8fc-source'
Value:
  "en_US.UTF-8"

Default:
  "en_US.UTF-8"

Type:
  string

Description:
  The default locale. It determines the language for program messages,
  the format for dates and times, sort order, and so on. Setting the
  default character set is done via {option}`i18n.defaultCharset`.

Example:
  "nl_NL.UTF-8"
