Hey, I've never used php-fpm, but I'll have a go at reviewing this :)

Very minor, but I'd suggest "(Web Services): Document the php-fpm
service." here.

If these additional features are worth mentioning, it would be best to
be specific as to what they are, and what benefit they provide.

Reading this makes me think that maybe having record types per process
manager types might be useful, e.g.
<php-fpm-dynamic-process-manager-configuration>
<php-fpm-static-process-manager-configuration>
<php-fpm-process-manager-configuration>

The default-value for the service type means that you can omit the
(php-fpm-configuration) here, as (service php-fpm-service-type) should
work.

When using other Guix services, I've run in to problems when field
accessors and record types were not exported. The biggest cost I can
think of is the lines of code, but I'd still suggest to export
everything by default here.

Pulling in your comment about the accounts...

This sounds like it would work, however, the defaults for the
socket-user and socket-group of the php-fpm-configuration are currently
"nginx", which seems to disagree with what you say above?

Also, the idea that came to my mind for this is to add php-fpm as a
supplementary group for the nginx user. In my mind, this seems the
neatest way of giving nginx access to the socket. What do you think?

I suggest this, as I'm not sure the name of the www-data group does a
good job of describing that it's controlling access to a socket. Also,
giving nginx explicit access to things owned by the php-fpm group could
be more secure than using a more generic group, especially as other
services that might need access to the socket, could end up getting it
because they need access to other things using the www-data group.

If the above sounds like a good idea, I think it could be implemented
by adding a configurable list of supplementary groups to the
nginx-service-type. Then maybe even adding support for configuring this
via the service extensions mechanism, then having the
php-fpm-service-type extending the nginx-service-type...

The above is definitely to complicated to do all in one go, especially
since the nginx-service-type doesn't support anything more complicated
than adding server blocks through extension at the moment.

As above, I'm not sure the use of nginx here matches the
description you gave...?

I'm not sure the php is adding much to the log file name, but then
again I've never used php... what do you think?

As you can specify the user and group in the <php-fpm-configuration>, I
think it might be better to just use the user and group names from
there, and always setup a user and group with those names, I'm guessing
that this will be what the average user would expect to happen.

As php-fpm supports using a pid file, I'd recommend configuring both
php-fpm and shepherd to use this by default. It means that the shepherd
service will wait until php-fpm creates the PID file before starting
services that say they require it, which can prevent some issues.

Filling in the description (a relatively new field on the service type)
would be a great addition here.

This helper seems good, although I think putting the "include"
elsewhere would be better, and I recognise that this isn't possible
with the nginx service yet.

Overall, I think this is great. Excellent use of record types, gexps
and match expressions. I think it would be good to think more on the
accounts issue before merging, but that is all that comes to mind
currently.

Also, if you feel like it, as service test would be a great addition to
this patch. There is a test for nginx already in gnu/tests/web.scm, and
I think you could get most of the benefit by having a test for nginx
with php-fpm, as that would give you some coverage over the php-fpm
service, as well as the nginx configuration.
