I think I have figured out the options to set in order to achieve what I have been asking. As mentioned by @TLATER I have set:
nixpkgs.flake.setFlakeRegistry = true;
which makes the nixpkgs flake in the registry be pinned.
Then I also looked at the of this option and set this in order to pin my extra nixpkgs-unfree:
nix.registry.nixpkgs-unfree.to = {
type = "path";
path = inputs.nixpkgs-unfree;
};
(of course nixpkgs-unfree is added as an input in my flake.nix)
This is a different setup now compared to the result of my old question, so I will update that accordingly.
