I just read it, and one thing that I'd like to bring to your attention
is the way Emacs packages are handled. There's nothing forcing you to
use the system or user profile to use Emacs with multiple packages of
your choosing, as shows using for example 'guix shell emacs
emacs-magit -- emacs' (Guix shell with create a profile in which Emacs
and Magit alone are installed/available). This makes experimentation
very easy, unlike what you wrote.

It's possible (but not required) to use multiple profiles with Guix, as
covered in a Guix Cookbook section [0]
