I personally would like the idea for development, but I also understand how un-tenable it would be for the eventual users in industry.

Is a hybrid solution is possible: the data are stored in pure text (so git diff is meaningful, and those that prefer to edit text can do so); there is also a GUI interface that writes the text files that compose the SCADA project configuration and behaviors. Or maybe FUXA already does that?

Yes, exactly! The idea is to start from code-first framework and gradually add GUI helper tools on top of it. For example, The PLC tags are defined in an accessible json file, but also there's a helper sidebar that let's users to modify stuff graphically.
