Yes if your only connection is wi-fi with drivers that require nonfree firmware, which is missing from the official ISO. You're supposed to discuss nonfree software in some non-official place too. That's what been stopping me as well; the system seems technically superior to Nix and not nearly as chaotic, but hardcore FOSS idealism makes it impractical sometimes.

I will admit, I was hesitant as well, but so far it's been fine. The #guix community on libera.chat is very active and has been nothing short of amazing in helping me understand the ins and outs of Guix. For any non-free software I use, #nonguix in libera.chat exists. It's less active but still pretty active (plus I pop in occasionally).
