I personally do not understand your usecase.  For me, installing the 
guix system installer on a usb is as simple as:

wget https://path/to/guix/installer.iso
sudo dd if=installer.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

I would rather do than than to try to build a custom iso image.  :)

Also do you wanna just take the plunge and install guix system?

It's super worth it!

It has been the most stable distro that I have ever used.

Thanks,

Joshua
