We could add the full

cfg/
   raw
   db
   value

now already, re-mount the 'cfg/raw' one on the current 'config' (or just keep
the code duplicated, not much gain if we remove it anyway) one and then drop that
old 'config' one in PVE 8.0; slightly hacky but IMO not that much.

Might want to check what other uses of config, cfg, conf, configuration there are
in API path's though, as ideally we keep the total unique count of them the same ;-)
