That’s a nice question. I had assumed the whole GNOME was a home service but its not. In any case, I think the implementation will be for the Shepherd without Guix. So a separate Shepherd daemon can be spawned just for GNOME. And we can imagine having a home service for people that want the services integrated in their user shepherd (in which case GNOME wouln’t start anything).
