Unfortunately, this would only work for Guix-to-Guix tramp connections.
I think the generic 'tramp-own-remote-path is better suited for this, as
it uses the login shell of the target user to find the proper PATH,
something that is much more robust than TRAMP's default (and works 100%
with Guix).  Maybe it could belong in a `Guix-specific application
setup tips` section in the cookbook or manual?

Best,
