Using an LLM to parse your application's config is a bit like using an F1 racecar to drive from your house to the bicycle in your attached garage. Getting config into the application should to be fast, light (lighter than the rest of the application), and deterministic. And if the LLM's output is easy and unambiguous to parse, it's easier to simply use that as the original config file.
