Yep, nitro is "only" ck + bootsplash + some other stuff. And guess what?
That's why I use it, and not ck! I have never had any problems with it, and
I find it to be a better patchset than gentoo-sources. I only wish it was
updated more often, but the maintainer is pretty busy right now.

And I don't care a whole lot that nitro is unsupported. The dev I asked on
the issue simply said they don't want to have to provide support for tons of
kernel patchsets, which I agree they shouldn't have to do. I have also found
that a lot of naysayers haven't even used nitro, or only used a much older
version, which makes me skeptical.
