This sounds (at least partially) like the config profile work I wished for
and Dominik worked on a while ago:

And yes, with that one could also ship a few built-in profiles that could
be passed on VM/CT creation.

I did not think it through completely, but default profiles could be also
seen as variation of this.

And FWIW, currently the above linked profile approach resolves values and
solves them explicitly, and is not just a reference where changing the
profile will alter the effective config of guests that got created before
that profile change happened. Which might be something that can be desired,
but IMO such a behavior would need to be opt-in.
