Really cool!
IMHO, it even deserves an entry to guix.gnu.org/blog. :-)
Aside, I have learnt the interesting project maneage.org.
As always, it gives me some food for thought.
For example, they are future bridges to think: connect the Guix archive
somehow with zenodo DOI and/or Software Heritage identifier.
When I read this comment in the review [1]:
As a final note, I wonder if, and how much, the author's
approach to reproducible computation/automated report generation
is feasible for the average scientist, in particular when
compared to tools with a smoother learning curve, such as Docker
containers, Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown documents and the
like. A brief analysis of this topic with a clear presentation
of the advantages of the author's approach in the Discussion
session would be worthwhile.
and then the Konrad's answer [2], I asked myself what pieces are
missing. And what could be the articulation of "guix pack -f docker",
Guix-Jupyter or other notebooks (RMarkdown, Org)? And what could be a
practical workflow? (Keeping in mind that the average scientist is not a
Linux guru but often run MacOS or Windows.)

Half-related to the blog post. You mention elsewhere this baby channel
[3], maybe it could be worth to link it somewhere in the blog post.
Moreover, totally unrelated, I feel it lacks a list of "Scientific"
channels, as [4] or [5], maybe on hpc.guix.info
