As a practical matter, these things are quite doable. 

Yes.

This is not theoretical, I've worked with all of the above.

Yes. But the point is that many, probably most sites do not have such
a methodology. Configurations are maintained by hand, text files are
not generated from a database by a program, IP addresses are
everywhere (think of documentation), etc.

Let's try to improve things: your post is a good sketch for a BCP
describing how organizations should handle IP addresses to make
renumbering as painless as possible. Why not making an I-D from it?
