Configs are still per-system. Per-softlist is an excellent idea that nobody's actually implemented yet.

AFAIK the AES/MVS differences are very limited; that was pretty much the entire marketing message for the AES

I think if you select the Universe BIOS you can get blood for Metal Slug on both MVS and AES.

It's reasonably fair. It omits that the vast majority of NES, GBA, and SNES games do actually work fine, and the inverse text bugs on the Apple II were fixed long ago. (16-bit unaligned access on GBA is fixed now as well).

And of course development on Model 2 is rapidly outpacing what they wrote there.
