Either you mean 'too late' or that's a complicated way of making a dissenting point?

It’s an idiom that means I never want to do this again. Even if I waited an infinite amount of time, it would still be too soon to have to write httpd.conf or nginx.conf files again.

I'm a native English speaker, I'm well aware of the (misused here) idiom.

You could also have said 'ever' instead of 'never', that would be a simpler and better fix on re-reading.
