No.  A hybrid repository is a repository that has both regular RPMs
and modules, with repo metadata that describes both.  It avoids having
a separate repository for each and allows a natural transition from
normal RPM to modules without users having to go hunt for their
content as it migrates.  There are other benefits to it, but it's
basically an end user simplification.

That's a different problem.  That's something in brew itself, using
modules via a different service that talks to MBS.  That has utility
but needs careful management but it's more centered around developers.
