I see parameters used by ZLE are only fairly weakly linked into this
mechanism, however.  At least one reason for that is because of the
unhelpfully tight linkage between ZLE and the main shell, so it's
not simply a straightforward plugin.  However, I haven't looked
further so I don't know if that's an issue with zle_bracketed_paste.
There may be some scope for rationalisation.

Loading a module for your own purposes --- for which Sebastian
no doubt provides a good deal of support --- is in any case a
rather different thing from the shell loading a module to provide
its own basic features, so this may not be going anywhere particularly
useful in this case.
