Yes, modules are loadable at run-time.

Zsh is setup to do lots of things on demand. It would certainly be
conceivable to be more gracious about the issue. But when versions
upgrade, I don't think it's unreasonable to restart a shell, like Axel
mentioned via "exec zsh".
If you'd really like that module loaded all the time, you can load it in
your setup. Personally, I'm loading a bunch of modules at startup time.
