(Get the code!)
I'd say that the benefit of not having to manually recompile the kernel outweighs having to wait during dkms rebuild at bootup. Even more since a manual rebuild will take exactly the same amount of time PLUS the time I need to spend initiating the rebuild (and wondering about why afs suddenly isn't working...)
Users who update their kernel (which they don't do every day) expect everything else to just continue working (afs, nvidia etc), so a few minutes wait during startup is way better than telling them to "recompile their afs module".
