Don't reboot...

I'm not that sure that ip agents used by Apple is ifconfig, it's not pretty clear at all.

I agree that configd is higher-level thant ifconfig but, again according to that document, the work done whenever you click on the "Apply" button in your Network Preference Pane (or whenever you switch from a net config to another) is a little bit more complex than just launching ifconfig.

Again, do what you want, I don't mind, but don't be surprised if what you set from ifconfig is changed by configd, which can happen, sometimes...
