That's something worth finding out.  It will always be an option to keep
a separate \chordmode for around that is falling into disuse, while
figuring out a chord syntax for \notemode that is sufficiently similar
to not require relearning and similarly not in conflict with existing
use.

So there definitely is potential to keep the breakage low.  Of course,
there will still be an incentive to eventually deprecate \chordmode if
it turns out that it does nothing of additional value over \notemode.
