So now you need the runtime for that other language in your system-wide configuration management solution. Plus all the other runtimes for languages someone decided to use as a configuration language.

Sounds alright to me, as long as you restrict to sane, reasonable languages. For example lua's "runtime" fits in a single .c file and is likely simpler than many xml or json parsers.
