as long as your old module is still in the dock, you can swap your own modules as a borg. so getting a cruddy random artifact module loaded with bad random handheld artifacts wouldnt actually be that bad.
maybe artifact modules could even feed into a new function for artlab in researching, modifying, customizing such artifact modules with different stuff to try to create a useful combination
but, perhaps this is getting quite a bit ahead of ourselves. handheld artifacts themselves would need more variety in functions and abilities before it would be really interesting.
you know, since the omnitool and unilyzer and stuff are being coded up, maybe they themselves would make for nice handheld artifacts that could be found and used by humans.
as for artifact -upgrades- rather than artifact -modules-, we could look to rare items already ingame to try to copy into upgrade functionality.
traitor items that could be suitable to be well-hidden secret borg upgrades - voice changer, hologram disguiser, chameleon projector - will be nearly useless trinkets for borgs still under their laws, though, but could provide some mischief, especially if combined with emagging/relawing of borgs
being able to upload a voice changer type program to a corrupted ai would also be cool, because ais do a lot of typing anyways, so having voice changer functionality could open up an array of new tricks for them to entertain themselves with
