The fact that you see guix downloading mariadb is probably due to "inputs bloat" you may never be able to get rid of it without an upstream fix or providing your own implementation of some upstream package/service. 4 to 6 hours is a lot, do you use substitutes?

If you want to reduce the bloatedness of your operating-system record, look into %desktop-services or %base-services (depending on which one you are overriding) and delete/replace what you will with modify-services.

Here are my configurations.
