In recent years the scope of Guile widened in that respect, so it’s very
suited to implement many more parts of the system than it was with Guile
1.x — with Guile 3 it starts to compete in performance.

It might be suitable for many parts of the kernel nowadays.

And the Hurd is a good way to get low level with much fewer risks than
Linux kernel hacking.
