Not at all.

Yes.

No. Since now kmod is used for autoloading, not kerneld anyway.

You have kerneld in memory. Since there are no code in kernel to communicate with kerneld anymore kerneld will not handle autoloading, kmod will. Kerneld still doing autounloading but it's the same thing as `rmmod -a` in crontab in setup without kerneld.
