Seems like the right answer is "bootstrap your daemon installs with Ansible and then use something that scales better that runs on those daemons."

What are the best practices along these lines? What's the "something better"?

Curious about this myself!

I tend to use Ansible to set up for Puppet.

There's an Ansible provider for Terraform so you can do the whole thing in there.
