nss-certs can be installed to their own profile and referenced from
there, but are typically part of the OS config. No glaring issue here.

Does this affect applications other than Guix itself?

Don't know anything about this one tbh.

Why do we have a section "Application Setup" in our manual? Shouldn't
we make it so that no application requires setup?
The variables you quoted above are an exception rather than a rule.
Though to be fair, I disagree with said variables not only for this
reason, but also because they break similar setups with `guix shell'.
Again, the long-term goal is to eliminate such bugs and we can do that
by making those PATH variables support multiple directories.
