I don't know any Haskell either, but Config.hs seems easy enough to
maintain.  Perhaps that is because I haven't made drastic changes
compared to the standard config?

One idea is to always use the standard Config.hs, then apply changes as
necessary.  I don't do that, but if I get problems, then I might.  This
requires you to know how you want your xmonad to be different from the
standard one, so that you can apply all your changes to a fresh
Config.hs.
