The kernel it ships with won't load blobs.

OK, there's a distinction between the GuixSD free software distribution and Guix package management. I'm surprised you can't build and use a non-linux-libre kernel with GuixSD, though; that presumably excludes even free additions, like Lustre, unless someone has done the forward porting work. (One of the recent HPC-ish presentations on Guix mentioned nvidia stuff -- I don't remember which.)
