I tried this config in ‘guix system vm’ and sshd is automatically
started on boot, as can be seen with ‘herd status ssh-daemon’ etc.

Does this config work for you in ‘guix system vm’?

Could you check /var/log/shepherd.log?  It will tell you which services,
besides sshd, failed to start.

‘ssh-daemon’ depends only on ‘syslogd’, so as long as ‘syslogd’ is
started, ‘ssh-daemon’ should start.

You can view the dependency graph of Shepherd services with:

  guix system shepherd-graph config.scm | dot -Tpdf > graph.pdf

HTH!
