100% yes.

Yes please remove all that module declration helpers for things that are
not modules, and after you add your helper which will nag at build time
when it finds new ones.

For justification just mention in the commit log that after commit
8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or
tristate.conf") we rely on the module license tag to generate the
modules.builtin file and so built-in code which uses module helpers
just need to be removed.
