This all looks very allocation/iteration heavy:
I'd completely avoid using lib.pipe in any hot paths for one.
For a normal code review I wouldn't be so pedantic about this, but check-meta is a performance special case.
Changes here needs to be carefully measured, and the Ofborg performance report doesn't include checkMeta, so it's entirely useless in this context.
Measuring nixpkgs eval with checkMeta = true before and after this PR (env NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 nix-env -qa -f ./outpaths.nix --arg checkMeta true > /dev/null):

What could be used to have better performance whilst keeping the same or similar functionality ?

Don't keep calling mapAttrsToList
mapAttrsToList isattrs: map fn (attrNames attrs).
You should store attrNames in a variable and keep reusing that -
lib.remove null -> concatMap
Nix has an optimisation for empty lists
The code below is a good simple example:
# Check that problem has a message (required field)
++ lib.pipe meta.problems [
(lib.mapAttrsToList ( name: problem:
if problem ? message then
null
else
"key 'meta.problems.${name}.message' is missing"
))
(lib.remove null)
]->
let
# Stick this in the outermost scope where it makes sense
problemNames = attrNames meta.problems;
in
# Nix has an optimisation for returning empty lists
# And another optimisation for lists with <= 2 elements
concatMap (name: if meta.problems.${name} ? message then [] else [ "key 'meta.problems.${name}.message' is missing" ])There was a problem hiding this comment.
And just in general: Read the lib implementations you're using here and understand that Nix is not very optimised.
Sadly we don't have good guidance on how to write performant Nix code.
NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 is your friend.

I think the manual counting & checking is better implemented by combining groupBy & concatMap over problemKindsUnique'.
