You can already do this with the --overlay=3DDIR option. I do this to add fonts, images, and graphical menu themes to the resulting ISO image in addition to my custom grub.cfg. Your option --configfile option does make the case when you only want to include your own grub.cfg file easier, by not requiring you to create a directory hierarchy of DIR/boot/grub/ to contain grub.cfg first.
