So you would for example click on Sync. You could then configure which Sync providers are enabled for the Realm, as well as set configuration for them. With regards to config I thought key/value would be sufficient, and much simpler to deal with.

Don't you have a Catch 22 with KeycloakSession and RealmProvider?

For sync/federation I was thinking that KeycloakSession.users() would 
take a RealmModel parameter though.

Maybe something like this for an SPI?

interface RealmLoadedProviderFactory<T extends Provider> {

     T createProvider(KeycloakSession session, RealmModel realm);
}
