systemd will always insert autofs4 on boot if it is not compiled-in. As we are about to switch to systemd, we might as well just compile it in.
This task depends upon

With would you gain by having it compiled in?

A miniscule amount of improved boot-speed/robustness I suppose.

The point is that the module will be inserted on every single Arch system, so there is no benefit to having it as a module (unless I'm missing something).

It saves you an annoying warning message on every boot.

59 log_debug("Your kernel apparently lacks built-in %s support. Might be a good idea to compile it in. "
60 "We'll now try to work around this by loading the module...",
61 kmod_table[i]);

There's nothing "real" to be gained here. systemd, to my knowledge, will always support these modules being modules.

I don't particularly care either way, but compiling it in is probably The Right Thing To Do™.
