In general I am not sure if there is a sane way to package these build

separate package that has all kinds of different modules built in?
Probably not. And people who need certain non-standard modules are
better off compiling their own package.
I would probably provide a vanilla package with sensible defaults and
make it easy for people to extend on that.
I think it is a good case for keeping vanilla package in `community` and
providing semi-official AUR package that allows easy selection of custom
modules but is guaranteed to be the same in all other ways.
Re-building does inevitable with such architecture, so it is all about
making it convenient.
