But wait, wouldn't that still imply there's no unique way to slice something into a positional configuration space?

The space-time interval is a conserved quantity under Lorentz transforms. The _position_ or _time interval_ separatedly are not conserved quantities. Since the spacetime intervals are conserved, the configuration space is unique and consistent.
