This seems like a reasonable use case for an OpenAPI adapter, maybe - handle invoking the REST calls based on the OpenAPI specs.

[SteveL-MSFT]

The downside of the adapter approach would be that you would need the OpenAPI specs on your system whereas generation of a DSC resource you could just publish and share the resource. These two paths aren't mutually exclusive, but we'd want to prioritize one over the other (if we decide to implement it ourselves).
