Yes, exactly. You just fork the whole config directory by switching the
environment parameter.

I understand it is not so convenient in your case, so feel free to open a
ticket asking to restore the style per notebook feature. Also allows people
to click the "+1" icon and get a feeling how many other users depend on
this feature.

Background is that refactoring of the code the config folder is now a
global object which is not switched per notebook, so switching profiles did
not fit anymore in the architecture. To restore style per notebook a new
implementation would be needed compared to how profiles were implemented.
