Personally, I think that it is reasonable to expect the users to import a
module.

Another option is to change the generated output to
\start[xyzzy]
....
\stop
When the environment xyzzy exists, this is (supposed to be, see below)
equivalent to
\startxyzzy
....
\stopxyzzy
otherwise, this is equivalent to
\bgroup
....
\egroup
This way, you maintain your goal of having output that runs out of the
box, but at the same time generate readable code. It can then be left upto
the user to define the xyzzy environment (Of course, this method does not
support passing arguments to environment, but then neither does your
proposed solution).
@Hans, there is a bug in core-sys.mkiv: There is a missing \expandafter, and
currentstartstop should be changed to m_syst_start_stop.
\def\syst_start_yes[#1]%
{\edef\m_syst_start_stop{#1}%
\ifx\m_syst_start_stop\empty
\let\syst_stop_indeed\donothing
\else\ifcsname\e!start\m_syst_start_stop\endcsname
\expandafter\let\expandafter\syst_stop_indeed\csname\e!stop\m_syst_start_stop\endcsname
\csname\e!start\m_syst_start_stop\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\endcsname
\else
\let\syst_stop_indeed\donothing
\fi\fi}
