I'll keep the list off the hook, should I need to discuss tis further, in
the future.

Just for the record, I don't mean to conter thhe Guix aim. I consider this

How is importing "entire npm dependencies trees" different than importing
one package at a time and building the dependency tree gradually ?

I have no problem with programmatically defined pacages, anyway ;-)
