The Lisp part is great, but sticking to only libre software makes it a hard pill to swallow.

Right, and I think (I hope I'm wrong) that guix makes it difficult to boot from ZFS, even though ZFS is libre. NixOS makes ZFS very easy.

I think you're wrong. Guix has a zfs package. The build farm just won't give you a pre-built binary due to license conflicts.
