See the schema. The xlink:type attribute is there, but its value is
fixed (to "simple") and so doesn't need to be explicit in the instance
document.

I've not really made much use of xlink in MODS, but IIRC, the
expectation is that it be used like so:
<title xlink:href="whatever">
Is this right?
I ask because I came across some discussion of xlink recently in which
the author (Norm Walsh) had offered a proposal to revise xlink to
*allow* this.

The current spec does not, and enforces an additional attribute
(xlink:type). So, correct use of xlink would be something like:
<title xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="whatever">
