When I do "guix edit artanis", I see the "artanis" package currently
uses guile-2.2. You should: (a) change artanis to use guile-3.0 instead,
or (b) change your package to use guile-2.2 instead of guile-3.0.

Just use ("artanis" ,artanis). The ("package:x" ,x "output") construction
is only needed for very few package, that split the documentation or binaries
out in a separate output, for space reasons.

No, all artanis stuff is packaged in the artanis package.
(Maybe the documentation is separate, I dunno, but you're not looking
for documentation.)

artanis must most likely be placed in 'propagated-inputs', and not 'inputs'.
It's a bit complicated to explain why though, particularily if you're from
a ‘classical distro’ (e.g. Debian). python and guile libraries usually need
to go into 'propagated-inputs' instead of 'inputs'.
It will build just fine if you put it in 'inputs' instead, but at run-time in
a pure profile, your package won't find artanis, as your package most likely
refers to artanis by module name (artanis utils) instead of by absolute file
name "/gnu/store/...-artanis-.../SOME-DIR-WITH-GUILE-STUFF".
Maybe when cross-compiling, it should _also_ be placed in native-inputs,
not sure though. (If you don't know what cross-compiling is, you're
most likely not doing it.)
