I don't know if it works in this particular case, but I thought that
normally 'bootstrap' would automatically do that already?

Nesting different forms of quasiquotation seems to be disliked (at
least according to a mini poll I did on #guix some time ago),
apparently

(arguments
  (list #:phases
        #~(modify-phases ...)
        #:make-flags
        #~(list ...)))

seems to be the way to go?

Can be simplified to (inputs (list guile-3.0))?

Maybe mention that it can network with non-Guile goblin peers as well
(e.g. Racket?), assuming that's correct?

Greetings,
