Sure, Arch has archinstall and there is also cloud-init. There are examples of using JSON to help manage that: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/examples/config-sample.json https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/blob/master/example... But, ultimately I believe a lightweight Go/Rust tool that takes a YAML file and does essentially the same thing will prevail.
