I have a C5 SAE, if I replace the RFA module will I have to get it reprogramed for my vette?

From what I've gathered on the subject, the RFA module does not need the VIN programmed or any options enabled to work.

True, just transmitter programming and TPS relearn.

Not trying to split hairs lucky but I tend to avoid using the term "programming" for fob or tpms training / relearn. It looks scarier than it is, especially in the context of tpms where there are numerous connotations to having a sensor flash programmed.

I reckon you can contact GM about your concerns, but I doubt they will release an edited version of the C5 service manuals for those triggered by the word "Programming"
