I concur with this question. LilyPond doesn't support Guile 3.0 officially yet (although it does work, to the extent that it is being tested at). It was painful for us to have LilyPond packaged with several versions of Guile when we were still using Guile 1.8, it would be great not to have that situation with Debian. The Guile version makes a difference to the Scheme code you can write, so compatibility issues are not hypothetical. Furthermore, I think Guile 2.2 would still have value independently from LilyPond: right now, compiling Guile 3.0 for Windows requires lots of patches to be found in work-in-progress experimental branches, so if you want to write portable software, you more or less need to use Guile 2.2. Thanks for your consideration.
