I've been using Pkl since it came out and I like it a lot, and the editing experience is fantastic with intellij.
I don't think inheritance is a flaw at all here. It makes a lot of sense to build configuration up from base definitions, especially when you account for its merge syntax.
I've been using it for k8s manifests a la customize. The biggest pain point for me is the lack of flat member syntax when updating deeply nested fields.
Something that's caught my eye is KCL, which seems similar, but maybe a bit more mature?
