Yep, I think it's reasonable. Gives the flexibility to opt out of modules
for people who want to, and does change much (as long as the upgrade path
is done correctly) for people using modules.

When the package split is done correctly, with Obsoletes in both new
packages, upgrades will be handled correctly, and
Recommends:fedora-repos-modular should not be necessary. But if people
want to have the Recommends, I think it can be added, because it's not
something worth fighting over. (With Recommends, this will be slightly
less useful to opt-out users, but still better than status quo.)
