Indeed. This property makes it essentially useless to reinstall, since
the system is stateless (or “mostly” stateless.)

If you use declarative profiles with ‘guix package -m’, then all you
need is to keep both the system config.scm and the user profile
manifests.
Otherwise there’s no fully automated way to capture the whole system
state. It would be a useful addition!
Besides, if your concern is to allow others to reproduce the Kodi crash
you experienced, my suggestions would be to try and see if you can
reproduce it in a VM created with ‘guix system vm’. If you can do that,
then others will be able to reproduce it as well and to investigate.
HTH!
Ludo’.
