Coming soon with the next release, there will be a new option in the settings which can be used to integrate nixpkgs-fmt and potentially other formatters. Thanks goes to @cottand.

I think it would still be nice to have a very basic built-in formatter, which can at least handle the indentation in lists, attribute sets and let expressions. I will therefore keep this ticket open.
