If I don't want to check in the stack config files, can I simply getOrCreateStack, set all the config again then run `up`?

Additional context, wanting to create a stack automatically for pull requests. But don't want to have to push a commit to that branch

Yes, you should be able to set the config programmatically on the fly, as you describe.
