I believe, in nixpkgs applgrid is stuck at 1.4.70 only because xfitter wanted (used to?) root5. Or, maybe, there was a format incompatibility for applgrid root files. If you want, feel free to submit an update for the package, then you'll be able to use it here.

Hi @veprbl, thanks for the comment. The nixpkgs of APPLgrid indeed is stuck at v1.4.70 because of ROOT5. I don't think however that the reason is because of some incompatibilities between APPLgrid and root files as what we are doing right now is exactly performing the conversion ROOT(->APPLgrid)->PineAPPL.
If you want, feel free to submit an update for the package, then you'll be able to use it here.
I might indeed consider doing this if/whenever I have some spare time. However, I haven't submitted anything to the nixpkgs yet and therefore not sure how the process exactly works and whether it'd take a huge amount of effort and time to get something passed.

A regular PR will suffice. Feel free to ping me for review.
