Hey everyone, I’m new to Emacs and Elisp in general. I’ve gone through the documentation to grasp enough basic knowledge of Elisp for setting up my init file. I went with a modularized approach where I load packages from three different folders under the modules directory. Are there any caveats to this setup, or is it fine?

init.el:

   ;; Loading Modules

   (defvar module-list '("modules/config")   "List of module")
   (mapc (lambda (path)
   (add-to-list 'load-path (format "%s%s" user-emacs-directory path))) module-list)

   (load "options")
   (load "elpaca")
   (load "setup-package-archive")

   ;;Load core package
   (setq core-packages (directory-files-recursively (concat user-emacs-directory "modules/core-packages") "\\.el$"))
   (mapc (lambda (x) (load-file (format "%s" x))) core-packages)
   ;;Load external packages
   (setq external-packages (directory-files-recursively (concat user-emacs-directory "modules/external-packages") "\\.el$"))
   (mapc (lambda (x) (load-file (format "%s" x))) external-packages)

Modules directory:
