dbus is far too heavy for small embedded environments with fixed
hardware.  (even if you mean nothing else, it's about 500K too big).
ubus was written for this environment to handle what dbus should not -
and is very small (a few K).   For even tighter systems, either skip
entirely or roll one's own.
I suggested OpenWRT's ubus infrastructure based on it already being
widely in use on small architectures as well as being supported and
maintained.
hostap project handles a very wide range of hardware, including
devices with very tight storage requirements.

I suppose if you could find a good argument to get it <10K total in
impact, tight, reliable, and with no side effects, that might be
another story.  (ubus isn't quite free of side effects, but its issues
are very consistent and well known)
Sorry to others for the noise.
