Hello Ryan,
I was able to solve.

actually, some command worked some time ago (e.g. profiles list) but I
was never able to use guix-emacs to view packages, for exemple
I have updated today, now my version is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GNU Guix eb34ff16cc9038880e87e1a58a93331fca37ad92
Emacs-Guix 0.5.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but I doubt the issue was version related since the emacs-guix package
version is the same

The most similar upstream bug is this one:
https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix/-/issues/23
In that thread Adam Porter points to this comment that explains how to
start Guix REPL instead of Guile REPL, from emacs-guix:
https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix/-/issues/19#note_559028370
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-eval-after-load 'guix-repl
(setq guix-guile-program '("guix" "repl")
guix-config-scheme-compiled-directory nil
guix-repl-use-latest nil
guix-repl-use-server nil))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Evaluating the above code /before/ starting any emacs-guix command (thus
before starting Guile REPL) all is working well now!
I repeat, I'm using emacs-guix on a foreing distro, I don't know if on
Guix System this workaround is not needed.
[...]
HTH! Ciao, Gio'
