Yes, linux-restricted-modules contains "nasty" things, like a startup
script (which slows down boot up), nvidia drivers (amongst other very
non-free modules), and other things. If I only need microcode for one
wifi device, linux-restricted-modules seems like massive, costly,
overkill.

IMHO, the wifi microcode (and microcode for other devices) should be
separated into a different package, and the restricted modules should
remain in the linux-restricted-modules package.
