For the record, I can compile some simple documents with it, such as the
following "test.tex" file
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans}
\title{Sample font document}
\author{Overleaf}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
This is an \textit{example} of a document compiled
with \textbf{XeLaTeX}. LuaLaTeX should also work too.
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
with the command
guix shell --pure texlive-collection-basic texlive-fontspec texlive-xetex \
font-dejavu -- xelatex test.tex

This format file is provided by `texlive-xetex' package (and
consequently texlive-collection-xetex).

I added a couple of packages to python-nbconvert's inputs, including
texlive-xetex. It fixed the build.
What surprises me however, is that one of these packages, namely
texlive-pdfcol, had to be packaged in Guix in the process. Was
python-nbconvert even building before the tex-team-next merge?
Thanks for the report! Closing.
