Perhaps. I follow conservative coding practices - particularly
for issues that I can resolve by simple cut and paste and an extra
15 to 30 seconds per instance today.

Since we cannot talk about tools here, perhaps you could poll
comp.lang.vhdl to better support your claim of synthesis support
of configurations and direct entity instantiation.

Best,
Jim
