SLIME is already a minor mode; I think if we can make it work if users
call (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'slime-mode) in their .emacs.

I think that's quite an important guideline that should be stated a bit
more prominently in manual.
It also seems to me that there is a certain conflict between what you
say and this from the manual:
These autoload definitions are saved to a file named
‘NAME-autoloads.el’ in the content directory. They are typically used
to autoload the principal user commands defined in the package, but
they can also perform other tasks, such as adding an element to
‘auto-mode-alist’.
