Looks like package versions are managed by nix-channel, and there seems no way to pin it for reproducibility on other machines.
I’m still new to nix/home-manager and don’t know how home.nix configuration works. Is there a way to pin package versions with niv, or does something else work?

Yes, it is possible.
The idea is that you use niv to pin your inputs and then wrap running home-manager in a small script that loads a nix-shell first, that sets the NIX_PATH variable to the pinned versions.
An example of this can be seen in this repository by @ryantm:
