Interesting idea!  But AFAICT it is impossible: Emacs-Guix needs to run
Geiser in one way or another, but if you try:

  (setq geiser-guile-binary '("guix" "repl"))
  "M-x geiser"

it will fail because geiser tries to run it with "-q" and "-L" (with a
directory with Geiser Guile modules).  Obviously these options are not
supported by "guix repl".  Above that, Emacs-Guix uses "--listen"
option.

So I'm afraid as long as "guix repl" options are incompatible with
"guile" ones, it can't be used by Emacs-Guix.
