I also wonder what Nolan's reaction must have been when, with his movie
presumably well underway, he sat down in a theater to see No Country For Old

just one weird-looking unstoppable creator of chaos, the dark side of the
hero, who used the flip of a coin to decide who lives and who dies.

Ostensibly, I agree with you. But I must add that I read Batman comics when I was a boy in the 1960s and even then Two-Face chose life or death by the toss of a coin. If you add continuity to NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, Anton Chigurh probably got the idea from a Batman comic book!
