I like the approach, I'm going to submit a PR to Dnn.CakeUtils to see if we can simplify it a bit…

This PR changes the approach to creating the web.config in the DNN install package. Currently we need to carefully manage the binding redirects to ensure the platform will install correctly. We do this by hand. But the amount of assemblies we distribute is likely to keep increasing in the future and we need to automate the process of ensuring the web.config is correct for an install distribution.
