The documentation of guix-daemon [0] says this on the subject:
"When the daemon runs with --no-substitutes, clients can still
explicitly enable substitution via the set-build-options remote
procedure call (see The Store)."
So, there is a way for unprivileged users to enable substitution for
themselves even when the local administrator has disabled substitution,
but it's not via the --substitute-urls mechanism.
I'm closing this bug because I think it's mostly a case of having
received mistaken advice on #guix.

We are discussing how to handle unstable upstream sources more
