How easy is it to verify that the configuration of your database matches a checked-in configuration or source file these days? My beef with a lot of installed procedures in a SQL database comes down to deployment and rollback difficulty.

Depends on the DBMS, but pt-config-diff works well for MySQL.

edit: This will only help for configuration, not procedures.
