Layering packages with `rpm-ostree install` is generally discouraged. Instead, you should try your best to run software in containers. For example, Fedora CoreOS includes `toolbox` to make it easy to create and enter a container to manage the host from: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/90 This is the same toolbox used in Fedora Silverblue. There's still more work to be done though to get it working well for the sysadmin "privileged" case. Re. qemu-guest-agent specifically, see the relevant discussions in https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/74.

I would not. Ignition supports merging configuration files, wherein the child (typically) overwrites the parent. This means that you can have a "general" configuration, and merge in other configuration files to provide for node-specific configuration.
