There are two things i don't want to miss with ansible: mitogen and the netbox inventory plugin.

Mitogen vastly improves ansible by using various techniques to improve the speed. With small runs it doesn't save much, but in bigger playbooks it it can improve it by factor 10 or more

Netbox is an inventory for hardware. It stores all the data that would require a ton of yaml/toml/ini files. you want a new server in the virt cluster? Save it in netbox and once ansible is done it can even update netbox so that its displayed as fully operational instead of planed.
