Yes the fact that you need to have a list of all "known" groups is
the issue.

I don't understand why we can't support ten or an even larger
number of parameter sets.
If you are concerned about code duplication then there are ways
around that. Or do you have another specific concern in mind
with respect to a large number of parameter sets under this scheme?

The template would work in the other dirirection. It would look
like ffdhe2048(dh) with dh being implemented in either software or
hardware.
The template wrapper would simply supply the relevant parameters.
