meditated a little about this the last few days. The more I think about
it, the more I like it.

We could, for compatibility, leave everything as-is with old documents.
That is, opening them would yield a warning "This document contains
forms and/or reports with embedded macros. This is not recommended
anymore. Please migrate the macros to the database document itself. Bla
Bla Bla." Something like this, with more sugar added, of course. (One
could even think about a automatic migration, though this would
inevitably lead to conflicts in case we have equal-named
functions/modules/libraries in different sub documents.)

Sure.
