Yes, one of these is the standard way to approach such problems, provided that you're not looking to provide for cross-module data directly via Hiera. You use the calling_class or calling_module variable to define one or more levels of your hierarchy (i.e. in hiera.yaml), so that lookups choose the correct data file for their context. Note that this is actually more efficient than what you asked: instead of loading *all* the data files, it will load exactly the one it needs.
