No problem :)

No, all you need to do is to bump the version tag in the package header,
and that commit will be used to create a new release tarball.  You can
also check out the NonGNU ELPA package guidelines[0], but I don't assume
there should be any issues here wrt non-free dependencies, since Guile
is firmly free software.

If you change anything and want to see how the ELPA build server handled
the change without triggering a release, you can check the "NonGNU
ELPA-devel" repository, that creates a new release for each individual
commit: https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu-devel/.
