We're always creating a new root, so there's no concern about removing modules from the running kernel (any more than there is a similar concern for userspace components).  An ostree deployment includes a (kernel+initramfs,userspace) as a pair; two deployments can happen to share a kernel, or not.   A bit more info in

RPM-OSTree is functionally irrelevant in this discussion, since it has
its own behavior patterns and eschews compatibility with the greater
ecosystem anyway. It doesn't even support modules, so this whole
discussion doesn't even matter for systems built on RPM-OSTree.
