What you've described is essentially Puppet in masterless mode.

One of the reasons why I prefer Puppet to Ansible is the speed: Ansible in push mode is incredibly slow, even after applying all of the recommended tuning options and configuring Mitogen. I haven't yet used Ansible in pull mode on a large scale infrastructure, but I'd love to know if it's faster.
