So this method will run on the earliest requirement of all installed
akmod packages?

Here they provide their own .service file and akmods could be run more
than once during boot if the user has more than one akmod package
installed?

I like the first option because it seems more elegant, but also more
complicated. I like the second option because it puts the onus of
getting the .service file right on the maintainer of the driver
package and not me :)
