Initially I thought creation of /tmp/.X11-unix should be tied to the

component should create that dir on Guix SD (based on what)?
It is needed at run-time (because packages cannot create files outside
of their store prefix at build time), so it should be created by a
system service. A service is not the same as a shepherd service; we
also have activation services that run once and only create a file or a
directory.
After 2 to 3 hours of research, going through documentation and various
.scm, I still don't even manage to write a service for my system
configuration that just does a (mkdir-p "/tmp/.X11-uni"), so figuring
out how to make that dependent on the actual need is way outside my
capabilities.
Should I file a bug, and if so, against what?
