I've been using bcachefs on Guix System for a bit over 3 months 
now, without any issues that weren't self-inflicted.  The other 
way 'round (/gnu/store on bcachefs) is currently not possible.

Of course you need a kustom kernel, but it should be trivial to 
apply the ~300 bcachefs patches (upstream/v5.3..bcachefs/master) 
on top of Linux-Libre.  I'd share my recipe but it's
a) not -Libre, even though I don't use & want any of the blobs, 
and
b) such an unholy union of other dodgy patches that it would make 
the bcachefs graft look much more difficult than it is.

I've attached my bcachefs-tools package below.  It works fine, I 
just need to finish the boring bits.  Now that I have a reason 
I'll probably do so and submit it soon.

To boot Guix System on bcachefs, we're missing the same thing as 
for JFS: Guile code to read its label & UUID.  But there's one big 
problem: GRUB can't read it.  At all[0].

Either we wait until GRUB grows bcachefs support, or somebody 
(:-)) needs to finally make Guix support kernels + initrds copied 
to a separate /boot partition.

Kind regards,

T G-R
