What are your thoughts about using Home Manager in this project?
I didn't work with it myself - just wondering is it suited here or prepared init.lua is a better choice

I would consider myself a fairly experienced nix user. I've recently stopped using nix to provide neovim, as it's become a pain dealing with the treesitter parsers (repeated breakages on hydra, mac compatibility, need to vendor custom parsers).

Furthermore the majority of users targeted by kickstart are not nix users.

What form would home-manager integration take? Just providing the copy/paste snippet for programs.neovim?

"I've recently stopped using nix to provide neovim"
Does this mean that you are not interested in this project anymore?

Wdym? Kickstart's primary usecase is not with nix. Kickstart is just a universal init.lua that can be used on nix managed neovim or via any other installation method. Nix is just provided as an optional way to install neovim.
