timedelta / should be disallowed in true division mode.

I don't understand this; why should the division mode affect division operations involving timedeltas at all? The meaning of "/" is unaffected by the division mode for float/float or float/int; why should timedeltas be any different?

I vote +1 for timedelta/timedelta and timedelta/float (regardless of division mode). timedelta / timedelta is the one obvious way to find out 'how many A's in B', and the one that it's natural to try first, before looking for (timedelta -> float) conversion methods.
