Flakes are just a mechanism of pinning dependencies to fixed versions. When you run a flake it doesnt matter if you’re on 24.05, 24.11, or unstable, it’ll produce the exact same output.
Yeah, they provide a reproducible environment for the modules.
However, one should know that there is a catch which can make flakes believe differently on different machines when updating inputs. That is when you have inputs in your flake that point to your flakes registry. Especially the system entries can trip you up
