"The drawback of dependency Inversion is that you need a dependency injection container, and you need to configure it."

This is simply wrong.

You can do dependency injection without a container (using factories, or link-time polymorphism).

Dependency inversion is a lot more general:

Depending on a header file (interface) instead of a specific implementation already is a kind of dependency inversion.

Having a language-independent IR in a compiler also counts as dependency inversion (compared to an implementation where the frontend calls the backend): it prevents dependencies between the frontend and the backend (whose reasons to change generally aren't correlated), by making everybody depend on the IR instead.
