Webpack Config or Configs?

One thing i've noticed while looking at some apps that are being built using webpack is that they either use one file with ternary operators that allow them to run all their configs from the process variables and that's grand, other projects i've seen with wp.dev, wp.prod, wp.common etc... so my question is what's the best…

Multiple or single files?

I would probably split them if the files were large or varied a lot between environments.

If they are exactly the same except for one small section I'd probably have 1 file and check the environment within it. For example, if the only difference is you minify your prod one then it's probably not worth a prod specific file.
