I haven't found a use for parsing TOML (yet). Once I do, it will be a
challenging task to develop that library (I have zero experience
writing parsers).
The TOML generation on the other hand was easier as Emacs did all the
Lisp data processing for me :)

It should be possible to generate that but the tomelr.el won't be the
place for that. I started with a strict definition for this package:
https://scripter.co/defining-tomelr/
This package only converts Lisp data to TOML and follows the TOML v1.0.0 spec.
