I don't think GDPR is going to be easily dismissed with modals asking for permissions like cookie notifications were. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the user doesn't give consent (whether explicitly, or via a browser blocking a modal) then unless that information was critical to the application function then you have to provide the service anyway without downgrading the functionality.
Its all explicit opt-in/implicit opt-out instead of implicit opt-in/explicit opt-out. There are no consequences for the user if they opt-out, and it is extra-territorial in its enforcement meaning it impacts any businesses in any region handling European citizen data. GDPR seems to mean business from a regulatory standpoint.

And yeah, I agree - they mean business [1] https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimate-interest/ https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimat...
