I'm aware of https://openhub.net/p/gnuguix which gathers simple
statistics on contributions.

There's also https://repology.org/ for statistics on package
availability if that matters.

Off the top of my head, besides usage in HPC as well as research, guix is
used as a part of the development workflow of software projects (if I
recall this right nyxt as well as bitcoin are two more well known of
them I've recently read about). I also read about gov.uk guix usage
somewhere, though I'm pretty certain other folks on this mailing list
know more about it and its details than I do.
