Hello Vasilii!

I had this very same situation, as I am using libreboot which has grub payload. You can use the following code snippet for your "bootloader" part of your system configuration. 

	(bootloader
		(bootloader-configuration
			(bootloader
				(bootloader
					(inherit grub-bootloader)
					(installer #~(const #t))))))

This will generate and manage "grub.cfg" without installing grub bootloader on your disk. Thanks to Guix Folk, Clement, who helped me with that code.

Regards,
RG.
