But I tried to have a new look at : https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/ But with another browser, another computer, reloading the page in firefox, or even forced reloading (CTRL+F5) I'm still not seeing the x86_64 qcow2.

I don't really know if qcow has integrated checksums, but I doubt raw image does. So I think this could still have some usefulness. Thanks -- Vincent Legoll
