The X-ORDERED 'SIBLING' could be used throughout back-monitor, to get rid of those "cn=Database X", "cn=Overlay Y" stuff and so.

One approach would be to add a pointer to the backend struct that points to its cn=config entry. Then back-monitor can simply pull the DN from there and strip the cn=config suffix.

I think this should be first well integrated with back-config itself; for example, for what concerns private BackendDB structures. One case I've been trying to deal with for a while was the cached instances of back-ldap that are created by slapo-chain. I'm not sure I ever got it working, though.
