I agree that it would be nice to have a better way to select the
location of the configuration file.

It could be as simple as a flag (--configfile ~/.fuserc-48k) or an
environment variable (FUSE_EMULATOR_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.fuserc-48k).

You can also do that without having to replace .fuserc if you use a
separate launcher script or shell alias / function.

For example I have this in ~/.bashrc:

fuse-slowtape () {
        fuse --no-detect-loader --no-auto-load --no-traps \
             --no-fastload --no-accelerate-loader "$@"
}
