I think the strongest argument I have heard for signing data at rest is =
that this may be the result of multiple updates and operations, so it =
never was interchanged as such, and so no data in flight exists.  (There =
may also be transforms=E2=80=A6  Dark corner.)

Imagine signing a current configuration in a YANG tree.
