AFAIU that will lead to quite some local recompiling that are not necessary. 
you can just set the shepherd package of the shepherd-root-service-type to a 
custom package.

e.g. this will use the latest shepherd from the shepherd channel:

(operating-system
  ...
  (essential-services
   (modify-services (operating-system-default-essential-services
                     this-operating-system)
     (shepherd-root-service-type
      config =>
      (shepherd-configuration
       (inherit config)
       (shepherd (@ (shepherd-package) shepherd)))))))

HTH,
