One can use alternative views ("with-defaults") or external information
(YANG modules) to acquire this information.  The main target of
configuration remains (and will remain for some time) the human
users.  Verbose configurations breed confusion and most of my efforts
in my day job are targeted to simplifying configurations and reducing
the volume of data human users need to look at.

I don't follow you here.  Please explain how the alternative
interpretation of "mandatory" aids in configuration management.
Is the "with-defaults" view key to a good solution?

Thanks,
 Phil
