A fundamental difference, however, is that a suitably-privileged user-space process can create directories within configfs.

Perhaps it just looks like a problem, but I'd be more worried about an inadvertent rm -rf blowing away my devices. Or is unlink() not hooked up via the same kind of callbacks?

Seems to me that destroying runtime device configuration is one of the less-harmful things that an inadvertent "rm -rf" could do to a system. Unlike the contents of /etc or /home, /config would be regenerated after a reboot.
