Just ran across this article about Debian dealing with similar issues.

One of the suggested work-arounds is to rely on virtio_rng on
virtual machines, but it seems Guix already uses that on my machine,
so perhaps it doesn’t help:

rob <at> garp ~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_available 
virtio_rng.0 
rob <at> garp ~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current 
virtio_rng.0
