The whole MBIM/NCM situation is unfortunate, and I'm not sure there's a better way to do it. The problem is that none of this is going to be plug-and-play for now, and I don't think people would take kindly to ModemManager installing a modprobe.d snippet to unconditionally change the module behavior, but asking users to do it themselves kinda sucks too.
