No need to apologize.  Discussion like this is a great addition to the
list.

FWIW, with this in your emacs init file ...

;; run-geiser automatically
(setq geiser-mode-start-repl-p t)

... the REPL will start automatically after 'M-x guix-edit'

As it stands, your video is a great sanity check for someone wondering
if their emacs-guix environment is working properly. It is also a great
demonstration of how easy it is for a guix user to see and, with a git
checkout, modify a package. If you expanded it a bit to illustrate a few
more guix-edit/geiser features, it could be a great addition to the
guix-video-verse, and, IMO, a good thing to add to www.gnu.org
