No, it is not layers - they are a symptom, not the cause. See my reply to
Chris.
The problem is clearly that Guix isn't deleting garbage files ... which may
have something
to do with how Guix interacts with files in the file system and differences
in Docker
environments (no idea, I don't know how Guix works, but perhaps it needs
some special
privilege enabled when it runs inside Docker containers?), but layers
themselves do not
prevent file deletion inside a container.

It is possible to host your own external Runners, and have them utilized by
CI/CD jobs running inside the GitLab cloud service. You could install Guix
on them and configure your CI/CD pipeline to require execution of certain
jobs on these custom runners. But I'm not sure I see why that would help?
