I think erring on the side of more features/modules wouldn't hurt Guile
at this point.  The "bloat" is one of the reason of Python's success
after all (batteries included!).  And as you noted, outside of using
Guix, extending Guile by installing extra libraries/modules is not as
trivial a task as users would expect, so that's an extra reason to
include things in the base distribution.
