Not in that detail, but there's mkvpropedit which is like mmg's header editor just for the command line. And it is as it is with the command line -- there's no tool more powerful if you know how to use it

e.g Process 10 files, and set all tracks with tag value of "X" to the default playback track, and any other languages to "not default". It seems I've messed up some of my stuff in the past, would be nice to fix without a remux.
Easily scriptable with a proper shell (e.g. bash), analyzing the output of "mkvmerge --identify ..." and calling mkvpropedit with the appropriate parameters.

It may be going by the first audio track it finds - is there a way I can re-assign track numbers without remuxing ?
You can do that with mmg's header editor and with mkvpropedit.
