Jesse:
I'm using spacemacs with guix, but not dual emacs/spacemacs. Some
resources (which you may have already encountered):
https://www.reddit.com/r/spacemacs/comments/88poow/how_can_i_run_spacemacs_and_emacs_side_by_side/
(ihsec = I hate switching emacs environments)
https://github.com/daedreth/ihsec
I don't think your 3rd approach makes sense, as spacemacs
is just emacs with a different configuration.
