It does, since Emacs 26.1. See the emacs-modules feature.

AFAIK, no one is actively working on Guile Emacs. (And Guile itself
is developed much slower than Emacs is.)

We just got a JIT branch a few days ago, please take a look and help
work towards eventually landing it.

I'm not sure I understand what you suggest in practical terms here.

Emacs is much more flexible, and different people have different
needs.
But that doesn't mean people cannot come up with such proposals.
Please do propose practical changes, and they will be reviewed.
