I've already made it.

To try it out:

git clone https://gitlab.com/zanc/overlays.git
cd overlays
nix-env -i -E 'f: with import <nixpkgs> { overlays = import ./overlays.nix; config = { allowUnfree = true; }; }; microsoft-edge-dev'

[olynch]

I get an error when I run edge from your overlay:

Works fine here.

Tested on 20.09.

$ nixos-version --json | jq ''

Actually it runs when you append LD_LIBRARY_PATH, i.e.

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/run/current-system/sw/lib microsoft-edge-dev

Not sure why this is the case.
