Overall LGTM.

Nitpick: you can make lines a bit longer, for instance:

> +(define (bffe-activation config)
> +  #~(begin
> +      (use-modules (guix build utils))
> +
> +      (define %user
> +        (getpw #$(bffe-configuration-user
> +                  config)))

‘config’ can be moved to the previous line.

> +      (chown "/var/run/bffe"
> +             (passwd:uid %user)
> +             (passwd:gid %user))))

This can be a single line.

> +   (extensions
> +    (list
> +     (service-extension shepherd-root-service-type
> +                        bffe-shepherd-services)

And: (list (service-extension …
