Yes, I think so.

Indeed. I suppose that loading in
,----
| (unless (or (fboundp 'TeX-modes-set)     ;Avoid inf-looping.
| ...
|   (load "auctex-autoloads" 'noerror 'nomessage))
`----
fails due to lack of arrangement of `load-path', without emitting error
by 'noerror argument.

Then I can't think of cases where
    (require 'tex-site (expand-file-name "tex-site.el"
                        (file-name-directory load-file-name))
is useful. Do you have any?
