My primary concern is that while it builds, I haven't tested whether 
zynaddsubfx still works after my modifications.  There are two secondary 
concerns:

(*) The bundling.  Both zynaddsubfx and the new mruby-zest bundle rtosc.
Having multiple versions of the same library in the same program is 
known to potentially cause trouble, see e.g. 
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47115>.

The other bundling could be considered as 'can iterate improvements on 
top over time' I suppose.

(*) The fonts don't appear to be actually used (at least in the current 
configuration), so as you appear to prefer no font inputs, that seems 
feasible to me:

(Alternatively, maybe I messed up the substitutions)

Greetings,
Maxime.
