Yes this looks really good.

As you see it is also very easy for a human to read and understand
this device tree.

If you want you can take it a step further and use just "pins"
instead of "pinmux" and infer the function part of pinmux
from the function listed there such as "uart0" so you only encode
the information once. But it results in a bit of tables inside
your driver.
