As much as I understand this decision (we made the same for our internal codebase), as much I do know how much is gained through finding a good configuration that is fixed to the test and is samesame over any system you test on (we changed it later). I guess there would be variants of tests which have the same code, but conditional execution just for the INI aka the configuration. Can you give us a good example of code that supports what you are saying? I think the idea is good, but we need the pain in the a** examples. These will help this discussion.
