Then why don't you simply do so?  Unlike certain distributions *cough*
Ubuntu *cough*, Guix System depends on neither Flatpak nor Snap to
offer "containerized" applications.  This configuration is thus yours
to make.  If your problem is that there's no Guix Home service to do
so, then fair enough, but assuming a regularly managed bash_profile,
that line should be easy enough to add (and more importantly how to add
it should be documented by Flatpak – if not, that's their issue).
