It would be nice if changes made to the configuration file via the Console were logged in DMR format so that the commands could be executed as a CLI script.

A simpler option would be to provide a link next to a resource that shows the CLI command you would use to create that resource. For example, in the list of datasources on the Datasources Configuration tab, next to each datasource would be a link that would contain the CLI command for defining that datasource.

The use case is this: I can take advantage of the ease-of-use of the Console to define a resource, then copy-and-paste the CLI command to define a script so that the resource can be defined over and over again on all of my EAP deployments.
