Can't speak for the OP but I dislike the direction they seem to be heading, incrementally (and perhaps accidentally) - yaml as a Turing complete programming language.
If someone is authoring Ansible playbooks this way, this is definitely not a best practice. Code should go into modules, plugins, filters, etc. Playbooks should be YAML, with extremely minimal use of any coding constructs.
