Is there a NixOS way to ensure GNOME shell & all desktop UI stays responsive when CPU utilization is very high?

nix-collect-garbage & nixos-rebuild often make my systen lock up when running. Other tasks do too sometimes, but most of the time, its one of these two processes.

That could be an I/O / paging problem as well. Do you have enough RAM? I found that having /tmp as a tmpfs is not smart on a NixOS machine that builds stuff in /tmp ;)
