Food for thought: right now, yes. But what happens when more people
start to use Guix, with modified versions of packages or even versions
of packages which are no longer in master? Do we simply ignore the
request for support with "sorry, this is not in master we can not
reproduce it"?
The systems following master go towards being reproducible, but custom
systems (and that's what Gentoo is) will appear and they will make this
harder, a new challenge to face maybe.
