I think that ideally, the tramp package in Guix would be patched to
recognise ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile and /etc/profile (when present,
on the remote machine) and use that to determine the PATH for the
remote machine (or some other system, whatever works) .

Thne tramp would work out-of-the-box, without having to consult a
cookbook or manual and without having to know that this information is
located there.
