Great, I really like the approach!
I've just pimped the viewhelpertest extension to demonstrate some of the 
new features (check out 
https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/CoreProjects/MVC/viewhelpertest/)

It even works to overwrite multi-level settings like:
plugin.tx_myext.settings.someKey.someSubKey
by naming the flexform node
<settings.someKey.someSubKey>

I came across two drawbacks though:
1. It's not possible to overwrite locallang keys.
<_LOCAL_LANG.someKey>
won't have an effect.
(But I don't think, that you would need this anyways)

2. It's still not possible to easily overwrite the default action of a 
plugin.
If you just want to overwrite the default action of some plugin (imagine 
a dropdown in your flexform with the options "default user list", 
"grouped user list" or something like that) you'll have to copy _all_ 
controller & action combinations to all options.

If you add an action to your controller, you'll have to adjust setup.txt 
and all flexform options.

IMO it would be nice to be able to somehow merge 
switchableControllerActions with the default setup - or to be able to 
specify the default controller/action combination separately.

Not sure, what do you think?
