Also, bringing > `/run/guix-other-stuff` under `/guix/guix-other-stuff`. /run is ephemeral: it is required to be a tmpfs on ‘modern’ system(d)s, and to be at least emptied at boot on others.

I don't think it interferes, does it? How? I think adding yet another non-standard / subdirectory should be done only for very good reason. /gnu has it, so would moving to /gnu/db/, but I don't see a case for the others to be moved.
