This could be an interesting replacement for ruamel: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/

We can pass a schema to it (which is considered the One Source of Truth™) to define key types.

Because we can define the types to coerce to, it doesn't require values be wrapped in quotes: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/why-not/toml/#4-syntax-typing

Some things to investigate:

how much of a drop-in replacemnt for ruamel is it?
does it still need c-code? (this would affect some tooling in places like opensafely-cli's vendoring)
how does VSCode handle not needing to quote values? (does it throw false negatives)
what do the error messags look like?
