Is it not possible to use pre-built copies of Bx and Bimg?

If not, then please change the above to:

  (inputs (list mesa mesa-headers vulkan-headers))

and refer to the source directly from the gexp, like so:

  #:phases #~(…  #$(package-source bx) …)

Would be great if you could expound a bit, especially the synopsis.
