But guix' use of magit-popup is useful even if one isn't building from source, isn't it? > I wouldn’t mind adding magit-popup as a dependency of the ‘guix’ package > in Guix if magit-popup were a separate package.

Alternatively, how about adding magit to guix and creating a guix-lite variation for space constrained users?
