Even if this is by design, I think a pop up/notification alerting the admin of those dependencies would be helpful. My use case: imported cloud spaces into our DC Confluence, but some users didn't update their email and the count was low, so I updated manually. I disabled the mentions add on to suppress email notifications, then re-enabled. I didn't realize the attachment preview shadow box was not working until a user reported it. Knowing that I would need to re-enable those other apps would have helped.

This is NOT a bug. It is by design. Currently, both confluence-files and confluence-file-notifications plugins have a dependency on the confluence-mentions-plugin.
These dependencies can be seen here:

• confluence-files
• confluence-file-notifications
  In short, in order to generate well-formed emails, these plugins have to use code which is located within confluence-mentions-plugin. There is no way to bypass or disable this.

Is there any possible workaround solution such as disable only a few modules instead of the whole plugin?

Unfortunately, there is no official way to disable only the module, which renders a pop-up that shows user full name and internal username. The customer could unpack the plugin's jar file and hack JavaScript or something else, but I would strongly advise against such solutions.
