Great! One comment: ifconfig is considered deprecated on Linux. I'm sure
the command will stay around, but it is better to use the "ip" command
in new projects. The recommended way to write a tinc-up script is:

#!/bin/sh
ip addr add $TINC_IP dev $INTERFACE
ip link set dev $INTERFACE up

You don't need a separate netmask, you can use CIDR notation (for
example: TINC_IP=192.168.1.1/24).

Interesting. I'd like to see the JSON API when it's finished, maybe this
is something to be supported by tinc itself in the future.
