I remember vinci (by the same designer) that had a map of europe when the game was non-historical. So why not a modular board to get more replay value. I managed to make one of vinci pretty easily. It's not that hard.
I agree with you that modular boards are nice.
That said, I think you and I have a different concept of replayability. I think that when a game adds "more stuff", such as a modular board, more races, etc., it's fun the first time, but gets stale fast enough. A truly replayable game is one that is constantly interesting, for which I can try different strategies, etc. Small World with a modular board would of course change the lay of the land, but unless you have scenarios, even if it's a different map, I still play the same way, I'm not wanting to play the game more.
