It appears the "config.xml" file is being embedded in your MSI. If that is the case, why not just make it easy to author the RemoveFile entries when the MSI is built. The result will be the same but you don't have a separate declarative file in your MSI.
Note: It doesn't appear your custom action will be running elevated. That means it can only delete files available to the normal user. Maybe that isn't an issue for you.
