I contest this assertion.

I'm setting up nrpe just now, and the fact that you effectively have to
duplicate the configuration -- you have to define the check commands
both in nrpe.cfg on the target, *and* in the .cfg file for that server
on the monitoring server -- is one of the things that's bugging the
crap out of me.

I can see situations where it could be useful -- such as monitoring
machines outside your administrative span of control -- but how often
do you do that?

I'm just not sure I can envision a *better* architecture for it, either...
