This whole thing you've described looks pretty similar to one of
debian's package managements feature. Every package can set a "Provides:"
directive, and specify what kind of thing does it provide. Like apache, nginx,
lighttpd, and so on provide a "httpd". Whenever an application needs such
a service it depends on "httpd". After this, the package management
picks one of the available ones.

It would also be good to take a look at this, it's in use for many
years by now, and stands its ground.

Sincerely,
