It’s not pretty but I don’t have anything else to offer.

Perhaps you can make it slightly less verbose by writing it like this:

  (start #~(lambda ()
             ;; Arrange so that shepherd does not add a timestamp to
             ;; the logs produced by the Coordinator.
             (parameterize …
               (fork+exec-command (list …) …))))

There are other services in a similar situation.  I wonder what we
should recommend.
