Would it be possible/ feasible to add support for configuration of Starlink terminals from OpenWrt?
Starlink API client that allows you to manage your account and the device
Anything is possible, though I would argue against it being feasible within the context of OpenWrt. There is nothing to be gained here.
The API is just the interface used by Android/IOS clients to facilitate retrieval of data points stored in the Starlink terminal. The only interaction the client has any control over is to stow the terminal for storage/shipping, enable/disable heating of the terminal in snowy conditions, and to set a daily sleep mode to lower energy use.
This really just adds a Linux client to current client base.

I'm sort of interested in device location for mobile tracking as with roaming terminal, and stats but yes I see your point there is not much to configure on the device.
To that end, have you looked at the Advanced/Debug data output?
You might be able to leverage some of the data from that info for some of what you seek.
I dump it ~once a month and diff -y it against previous dumps just to see what might have changed ie. terminal movement, obstruction changes in my environment, app updates/changes. . .
No I have not I'm just entertaining the idea.
