Best add a comment like

  ;; Use a fork that allows overriding the configuration file

‘We’ usually try to use upstream versions.

Using (which "blabla") is not correct when cross-compiling, as
"which" looks in $PATH, but "iproute2" (and "kmod") won't be
in $PATH when cross-compiling as they are 'inputs', not 'native-inputs'

You'd need (search-input-file inputs "/bin/ip")
(or maybe "/sbin/ip", I dunno). Actually, search-input-file is
in core-updates, but not yet on 'master', so instead do

  (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "iproute2") "/bin/ip")

or something like that.

Looking at the source code, I see

usage(){
cat  << EOF

so it seems you need to substitute "cat" as well (it is from coreutils).

I'd recommend copying "wondershaper.conf" somewhere
as well, and substituting "/etc/conf.d/wondershaper.conf" and "/etc/systemd/wondershaper.conf"
in 'wondershaper' appropriately, so it will have some defaults.

Greetings,
Maxime.
