This looks interesting!

Maybe use the modern allow-list / block-list terminology.

Shouldn't we always check for errors?  When is it useful to let them
through?

> +    (let* ((cmd (string-append "emacsclient " args " -e " (escape cmd)))

Instead of having to escape stuff, it'd be better to avoid using a shell
for the invocation by opening the pipe with (open-pipe* OPEN_READ prog
arg ...).  There's an example if you grep for
'with-input-pipe-to-string' in the update-guix-package.scm file.  This
should make the rest of the code more readable.

Why is this needed?

If using open-pipe* as suggested above, all the arguments could be kept
as a list.

This code and the --list-remote-backends associated procedure could
share a same %supported-backends list containing currently just
'("emacsclient-eshell").

It'd be nice to have a functional test for it; some inspiration could be
taken from tests/build-emacs-utils.scm, which skips the test if emacs is
not available.

Thanks for this contribution!  Could you please send a v2 taking into
account the above comments?

"guix shell" doesn't support eshell due to eshell's quirks.
This change makes environments/profiles more network transparent to
support eshell, and maybe other remote environments in the future.

+Create an environment over a remote connection using @var{backend},

+
+This option causes the @option{--container} option to be ignored.
+
+When @var{backend} is @code{emacsclient-eshell}, a new eshell buffer
+with the Guix environment will be opened.  An Emacs server must already
+be running, and the @code{emacsclient} program must be available.  Due
+to the way @code{eshell} handles commands, the @var{command} argument,
+if specified, will run in the initial @code{eshell} environment instead
+of the Guix @code{eshell} environment.
+
+@item --list-remote-backends
+Display the @var{backend} options for @code{guix shell --remote=BACKEND}
+and exit.
