The overall approach looks good to me, it's better than what I
originally proposed for sure :-).  That being said, I'm not very
familiar with the Node.js ecosystem so I don't know if it's necessarily
the right way, but I suspect the correct way for node isn't very Guix-y
so I'm not too worried about that.

It's on my TODO list to take another look at the patches as well :-),
then yes, I'm planning on rebasing my tree-sitter series on top.

Thanks for taking a look!
