Yeah, it could be helpful.  In addition to Denis comment, I just would
like to point that you do not necessary need that Guix is running inside
Docker but you often only need some packages inside this Docker.

Other said, for deploying on non-Guix infrastructure, I often use Guix
as a Docker factory via “guix pack -f docker -m manifest.scm” where
manifest.scm only contains the packages required by my pipeline (or even
sometime only one pack for each node of the pipeline).

Similarly, I use “guix system image -t docker”, barely.

Cheers,
simon
