I'm not sure how this would work. So you're now talking about putting all the
if/then logic inside hiera?

We aren't, because we have no external datasource for this stuff and every
example we've seen (like yours above) indicates that we're going to have to put
half of the logic engine of puppet inside the data source, which means it needs
to be a very complex thing that enforces the structure and somehow ties it with
the puppet logic. Our analysis so far is that to implement hiera we're going to
have to write our own software platform which manages hiera data and writes out
puppet policies on the fly when the data changes.
