Ok.
Is there a reason to have this out-of-tree?
Could you push it to a wip-npm branch in guix?

Some npm packages has no or almost no dependencies.
E.g. https://github.com/substack/minimist/blob/master/package.json

These we could start with if the build-system works and incrementally 
improve the build-system and the complexity of added packages.

Thoughts?
