Isn't it better to use `nix store optimise` for dedup of the nix store? The nix command has more knowledge of the structure of the nix store so should be able to do a better job with fewer resources. Also the store is immutable so you don't actually need reflinks - hard links are enough.
It is, yeah, though you have to turn it on. I'm not actually sure why it's off by default.
