This sounds similar to issues I ran into with a headless server running
GuixSD a month or so ago (have since switched to Guix/Debian).

I ended up with lsh-service providing sshd (the ssh server) and openssh
providing ssh (the ssh client).

The config is split with sshd in the system config and ssh in the
per-user config.

There may be a more sane approach, but this did work and, FWIW, I have
attached the actual configs.
