If you need full-featured F5 management, use the web GUI admin that comes with it. At the same time, create linux scripts (since F5 runs on linux) to periodically check the F5 configuration files, and if they changed from the previous check, just do a backup (find out if you can use rsync as well -- not sure).
I created an application for the company I'm working at that gives users the ability to enable/disable the status of a particular wide-ip pool member (there is a limited set of wide ips that users can manipulate, and that was the point of creating this functionality)j. It wasn't very time consuming, but if you're looking to completely replicate F5's GUI just for version control it doesn't really make sense -- there are ways around this.
