You will lose the ability to perform online volume management operations. Another main reason for abstraction is to avoid untested combinations. It is possible to use the auto-generated volume spec files (from /etc/gluster dir) and start glusterfsd manually. My strong recommendation is to integrate pupper/chef with Gluster CLI. Integration with CLI takes fewer lines of code than manual vol spec approach. What trouble did you run in to? I think it makes sense for us to document Gluster / Puppet integration and provide examples.
