Of course we need to handle them -- that's never been a topic here.

Dmitry asked whether using `put' as the mode specifier would increase
the size of the autoload files significantly (as opposed to how I
implemented it, which is to stick them in the interactive spec slot),
and I said that based on initial tagging, that's not really much of a
concern one way or another, because most ;;;###autoload functions are
global.

I.e., changing the implementation to use `put' won't blow the size of
loaddefs.el up.

So the minority status of ;;;###autoloaded mode-specific commands was
the entire point.
