A while ago we decided, that we want to use TypoScript for the 
configuration of Extbase extensions in the Backend too:

plugin.tx_myext {
	settings.foo = bar
}

module.tx_myext < plugin.tx_myext
module.tx_myext {
	settings.beOnlySetting = baz
}

This is like this since version 1.0 IIRC and I still think, that this is 
a good decision as it provides you the same approach in FE and in BE.

The only thing that changed with Dependency Injection is, that you now 
need at least one configuration for Extbase to run:

config.tx_extbase.objects.Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Storage_BackendInterface.className 
= Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Storage_Typo3DbBackend

So that the DI container knows, that it should instanciate the 
Typo3DbBackend if you refer to BackendInterface.
For all other interfaces in the core that is not required, as the DI 
container just strips of the "Interface" part of the class name if 
nothing els is configured.

We first had a second way of registering implementations via PHP.. But 
we decided, that it's better to have that in one place and in TS so you 
can always check the current configuration with the ObjectBrowser.

To cut a long story short: do you have a better idea? ;)

Best,
