So each profile would now be a style.conf in its own
     ~/.config/zim

I assume that would mean I would use a script to start each of my notebooks:
    XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/<user>/config1 zim wiki1
    XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/<user>/config2 zim wiki2
    .....
Correct?

I think this has 2 consequences:
1.  I can no longer start wikis from the zim gui itself, or from zim in 
the tray.
I always have to start them from a script.
Not a big problem, but worth noting.

2.  I would have different versions of notebooks.lst,
one for each config:
    /config1/notebooks.lst
    /config2/notebooks.lst
    ...
Can zim handle this?

At the moment I have 3 profiles, so not unmanageable.
