The downside is that root would have to install or upgrade the policy at installation time whenever the Guix package that provides the effectively running @code{guix-daemon} executable is upgraded."

The running guix-daemon is not necessarily the currently pulled
version.  When using a foreign distro with the systemd service file as
per the manual, the running daemon apparently is root’s pulled Guix
version /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon
but e.g. on Guix System the daemon is the version defined in
gnu/packages/package-management.scm.
