Is it possible in Guix to activate dropbear in initramfs to remotely unlock
fully encrypted disk (root) setup? (Like it done in Debian
dropbear-initramfs package with cryptroot-unlock command)

There’s nothing to do that out of the box, but starting Dropbear from
the initrd is feasible.  In a nutshell, you could take a look at
‘raw-initrd’ in (gnu system linux-initrd) and insert a snippet that
spawns Dropbear there.  Or maybe ‘luks-device-mapping’ could have an
option for remote unlocking over SSH.

HTH,
Ludo’.
