One type of conflict is mode-state: For text-based modes I want to
flyspell enabled, but for programming-related modes I want it disabled.

Another type of conflict is keybindings: I like to plug in languagetool-
related functionality on keys consistent with what I typically have in
programming-modes. That means that targets of these bindings for these
keys differ in text-mode and prog-mode.

That's an option too, and wouldn't really complicate my setup that much.

Good idea!

In which case we agree.
