Implementing a lua to mod translator would be great. In the meantime, the two steps solution using lmod looks pretty reasonable for us. Then, I am not sure about the pitfalls of mixing tcl and lua files but lmod has been doing it for a long time. They might have warnings about that, or just state that it is a great idea. We should ask them, but I can state that it has been pretty useful for us in the past 10 years. We distribute our bioinfo software stack on a cvmfs setup. It is all tcl and most of the receiving hpc sites (all national sites in Canada) are running lmod and it works without flaws.
