I wonder why you don't see the GRUB menu when booting the USB
normally. Do you get a five second blank screen before the kernel
loads?

Worst case scenario, you can install Guix (not necessarily GuixSD) on
some other system and generate a new USB image that adds 'nomodeset':

$ wget https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/gnu/system/install.scm
...make some changes...
$ guix system disk-image install.scm

...then dd the resulting store item onto a USB drive as usual.

Hope this helps!
