That's why I've written cme and Config::Model [2]: this works on top of existing configuration files so existings projects are not impacted. I agree that Config::Model cannot address all configurations (like exim's). See https://github.com/dod38fr/config-model/wiki/Available-models-and-backends to see which configurations can be edited with cme. Help is welcome to support more configurations.
