Oh, I guess I didn't really address your question.

No. Most ppl, including Mexicans, jes buy canned hominy. Juanita's
sells hominy in gallon cans. My late step-mom, who was Mexican, would
go down to the local taqueria and buy a bag of fresh nixtamal. I
tried that at one of our local Mex mkts, which DID make their own
fresh tortillas, and asked for some fresh nixtamal, but the workers
looked at me like I was from outer space and feigned ignorance. Yer
basic "go away stupid gringo" act. So, it's make yer own or buy
canned.

If you can find someone who makes it and is willing to sell it to you,
go for it. It really is great in homemade pozole. As an FYI, it's
pronounced NEEZ-tah-mal.
