Generally, I recommend keeping the user profile separate from a lean
system profile. This allows you to upgrade your system even if some of
your user packages cannot currently be built for some reason.

That’s possible. You can get an overview of what’s going to be
downloaded and what will be built with the “--dry-run” option.

You need to manually remove old links of the form
/var/guix/profiles/system-*-link — be careful not to remove the link
corresponding to the current system! After that you can run “guix gc”.
