Is this may or may not? I'm not familiar with USB, so I assumed if
there is only one configuration and there is always one active, it
does not need to be set explicitly because the correct one is already
active.

Aren't those in the CONFIGURATION descriptors? Reading the STRING
descriptor is probably only useful if you need to print the
configuration details somewhere.

Yes. It's a standard MIDI device, no configuration is required.
