Although I must note that the end-result ends up ruining the whole point of Elixir Releases.
The point of an Elixir release is that you can package an application into a stand-alone item. It will copy elixir & erlang (etc) as well as your application into a single package, so you can run it without having elixir & erlang installed on your system.
I guess the single dependency here is /bin/sh: as long as it exists, you can run the application from any system.
If you were to generate a release with Guix, you would end up with scripts that depend on the Guix store. So you can not run the stand-alone without Guix.
What is the solution to this? I would personally prefer to keep the actual behaviour (if possible) and if needed, disable the tests.
