I understand the distinction. It seems the issues I originally raised would be the same in both cases. The difference is whether the application would be built as a collection of scripts versus a full Java application.
As I tried to explain, no configuration files will be written to disk if BaseX is invoked via Java as described. I understood that's one of the side effects you wanted to circumvent?

Are you explaining that these files would be accessed by the standalone application that is packaged with the distribution, but their use may be avoided by accessing the database directly through the library layer from a custom application?
