Ive been dabbling with modding for over a decade, mostly with the Elder scrolls games because the community around that is huge. I don't think it would be a good thing for elite. Mods tend to break things in unexpected ways, which already seems to be an issue with Elite for Fdev.
The most they could likely do is custom cosmetics. I would fully support player made skins and decals (there should be 50x as many decals as we have now anyway). Something like the Call of Duty emblem creator that they used on a few games would be great for this sort of thing, and theoretically shouldn't be too much of a headache to add to the game.
