For me, what really matters is how the goal of the modo and S1+ aligns. A helpful S1+ will have goals that once realized will further the modo goals. A reactionless drive AI can be seen as friendly, since it helps modos in the ship to arrive at their destination. Their relationship, however, isn't very deep. The modos are simply benefiting from the fact that it gives the ship speed to reach their destination faster. And the AI likely doesn't understand the modos and I doubt it even knows they exist at all.
What the increase in the overlap of the mental map between the modo and S1+ may do is increase the likeliness of the S1+ wanting to deal with the modo, and how profound their relationship can be. For good or for bad.
