Notably, I have:
/dev/sda1 /root ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
none /root//dev devtmpfs rw 0 0
Which should be:
/dev/sda1 / ...
none /dev ...
Why not make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/self/mounts?

This sounds appealing, but it seems that libmount in util-linux will
insist to update /etc/mtab.
Do you have evidence that it could cope with it?
Thanks,

Not sure, but I think libmount should just work fine.
util-linux support this since 2.19:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.19/v2.19-ReleaseNotes
Debian make this default at 2011:

OK, it sounds like it’s safe, then. :-)
Would you like to propose a patch? There are changes to make around
linux-boot.scm, and also in (guix build syscalls) the #:update-mtab?
argument should default to #f.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
