@Arch_User, did you read the comments in full before using localmodcfg? Below are the sections that matter.
# Compile ONLY used modules to VASTLYreduce the number of modules built
# and the build time.
#
# To keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware,
# give module_db script a try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
# This PKGBUILD read the database kept if it exists
#
# More at this wiki page ---> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db
_localmodcfg=
And
### Optionally load needed modules for the make localmodconfig
# See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
if [ -n "$_localmodcfg" ]; then
if [ -f $HOME/.config/modprobed.db ]; then
echo "Running Steven Rostedt's make localmodconfig now"
make LSMOD=$HOME/.config/modprobed.db localmodconfig
else
echo "No modprobed.db data found"
exit
fi

Failure to read and follow the instructions will result in exactly what happened when you booted your kernel. This feature cannot be used properly without preparation on your end. And unfortunately, there's no real way to tell if you have, as a dangerously reduced set of modules and kernel features could be completely intentional depending on your use case.
At least I have the answer to the question of "What's the difference between the builds". The answer is "No difference (probably) if you ignore the options in the pkgbuild"
Correct, the defaults are used for the binary repository. All other features you see are for niche use cases and experimentation. They're a convenience if you know why you're using them and need them for any reason.
