I agree that getCompileClasspathElements/getTestClasspathElements are
flawed, but I don't think adding
getCompileModulepathElements/getTestModulepathElements is a good idea.
MavenProject is supposed to be generic, and  modulepath is something
very specific to java 9. At the same time, compile mojo and surefire can
already derive all they need from project dependency artifacts, so these
two new methods appear to be redundant.

I am also not sure if
getCompileModulepathElements/getTestModulepathElements will be generally
useful for other java-related plugins. For example, I couldn't use
existing getCompileClasspathElements/getTestClasspathElements in takari
lifecycle and I suspect I will not be able to use
getCompileModulepathElements/getTestModulepathElements either.
