One reason against using static configuration is that the server needs to be stopped and started when making a simple ACL change.
If HA is really important I guess one has a load-balancer in front of several replicas. So restarting one after another results in zero downtime seen from the clients.
Personally I still prefer to use static configuration and fully automated installation/configuration (with puppet manifests pulled from SVN). That's really easy with text files compared to dealing with dynamic configuration.
