I guess it's a subjective question mostly. I don't think there is any one-click solution that you are missing.
If it's a one-off, you can just fix things up and get them going. I happen to do a lot of this one-off stuff, so not that experienced in building config stuff, but on any project that lasts, it's nice to have something scripted. Do you put in the work up front, to get something easier to use and for sure repeatable? There are various ways of setting things up, including xqy scripts and Roxy. Something else to note is that the REST management API has been expanded a lot: http://www.marklogic.com/what-is-marklogic/whats-new/management-api/ I think samplestack at http://www.marklogic.com/what-is-marklogic/whats-new/samplestack/ has a couple configurations built with gradle and with JS that might be worth looking at.
