Not pure configuration, but IMHO configuration and commandline usage should be the same (as far as possible):

 - defining user-defined commands. During development, I often need a sequence of 3-4 commands, eg. reset targeet - erase bootloader area - program flash - resume target. If I could define my own command for that using the scripting language, this would be great.

 - Production/service environment. A script could reset the target, read the hardware ID, select the approproate files for that hardware, and then flash the target. Without scripting, this requires some intelligence wrapped around OpenOCD.

 - calculating special checksums before flashing, embedding serial numbers etc. might also be a useful application.
