I have been keeping an eye on this, and I broadly agree with you.
However, there are some more serious GNOME problems that I would like to
work on before worrying about the list of packages.  Here are a couple
of examples:

  • GNOME 3.30 does not use the right timezone
  • We are on GNOME 3.30 and not 3.32
  • GNOME Shell will not use an upgraded application automatically

In addition to these, there are still a number of GDM issues.
Unfortunately, Guix currently has more things to work on than it does
workers, which causes many little projects to fall by the wayside (at
least for a while).  It’s frustrating, sure, but it’s not uncommon for
free software projects.
