I had the same problem, installing qt5Full solved it. You may want try:

nix-shell -p texstudio -p qt5Full --run texstudio

Report:

On 19.03 the package works as expected
On 19.09 the package works as expected if qt5.full is declared, too

This is fixed for master in #73484, but not yet for release-19.09.

Should be fixed now with b926503738cc5b19f3ee66f8a5745c41318a82ff and parent on release-19.09 branch.
