The idea is very simple -- install Software Collections of your favorite application stack (say Python 3.6 + NodeJS 8) and mount the /opt/rh on workstations. That way you have the same environment on all machines.
Sounds nice, but how about config files that are installed in /etc/opt ?
That's tricky, yes, and it's also a reason why we don't do it for stuff like databases (data files are even more tricky). This feature is used only for dynamic languages like python, ruby, nodejs, ...

Now, I'd like to request some feedback -- is there anybody on the list (or outside, but you at least know about it) who uses this feature for the Software Collections packages?
Please, let us know! If you can't share it publicly, just drop me a direct mail. Of course, more feedback is welcome, but even simple YES would be also cool.

I don't know if this is useful for the this, but when we were doing similar setups in the 90's we would have /nfs/stuff/os/version/arch/{etc,bin,lib,scripts} which would have readonly tools. The clients would copy them to their local etc on first setup in the OS appropriate location so that they could have a mutable version.

In a previous life when space mattered and VMs were still in their infancy, I had to install several machines which run the flexlm license manager. The only real & important differences among them were the MAC address and the config file for flexlm. So I mounted R/O the whole OS minus /var from a single server and used symlinks from /etc/sysconfig to a small R/W partition mounted below /var.
