You probably don’t care about term-console, so you can ignore this
message.

Sorry for the late reply.  This “herd status” would need to be run as
root (e.g. with sudo like “sudo guix system …”).  The reason is that
shepherd can manage both daemons of the system and daemons of the user
(see Guix Home in the manual; for example, the home-mcron service).
When you run “herd status” without sudo, it thinks you want the status
of the shepherd user daemons, but you have not setup shepherd to run
user daemons.

No, your system is set up fine.
