In favor of Ansible, I'd argue that extending it is trivial.

I tend to write simple Jinja2 filters when I need something done quickly that's not included, and it's as simple as making a specifically named directory (filter_plugins) and a python class (FilterModule). You can write your own modules pretty simply as well but there's a bit more boilerplate.
