This is only a metapackage that pulls in other packages, and shouldn't be installed by default.

Are we still guaranteed to get kernel-modules installed?

Agreed that kernel is just a meta package and that the kenrel is likely getting pulled by kernel-modules but is there a reason we should not have kernel-core explicitly?
