Thanks for your kind words, and welcome!

When software is installed in a profile, Guix automatically updates the
‘dir’ file in that profile.
Then you really have to set INFOPATH accordingly, because otherwise
there’s no way Emacs (or even the standalone reader, I would expect)
could find them. On GuixSD, INFOPATH is set to
$HOME/.guix-profile/share/info:/run/current-system/profile/share/info.
If you do so, C-h i will open ~/.guix-profile/share/info/dir and you’ll
be happy. ;-)
Note that depending on how you installed Guix itself, its manual is
elsewhere. That location must also be added to INFOPATH.
HTH!
Ludo’.
