There's a udeb for amd64 anyway:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/scsi-core-modules-4.9.0-3-amd64-di/download
It seems to be used to build the cdrom initramfses on the following archs:
| kibi@armor:~/debian-installer/installer/build$ git grep scsi-core-modules|sort
| pkg-lists/cdrom/alpha.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
| pkg-lists/cdrom/amd64.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
| pkg-lists/cdrom/arm64.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
| pkg-lists/cdrom/i386.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
| pkg-lists/hd-media/armhf.cfg:scsi-core-modules-${kernel:Version}
(That's in src:debian-installer)
So it looks to me we only need to have the extra module in this udeb, and
the release images will automatically get it.

Kernel maintainers (in copy): maybe this wasn't added to one of the scsi
udebs because the module is below the drivers/message/fusion directory?
Feel free to steal the bug report away from us if the required change is
just about shipping extra .ko('s) into your udebs.
