Why not do both?

The only thing that is unfortunate is that the "/" already is a command.

Which would point to either a solution along the lines of "s<range>"
being the split-by-line and "s/" being the split-by-regex?

Or is this an argument for introducing yet another interaction mode
entered when "s" fails to split further -- with simple "/" and "<range>"
being the options in that mode.
