Well, someone still have to manage hardware nodes!
So I use cf-engine to install smatrd, manage ssh keys, to install packages an so on.
Also configuration management for the servers where state lives, like your git repos, db, documentation, internal knowledge systems. To ensure backup software is installed and running.
I prefer cf-engine due to the fact it's compiled package, not dependent on any scripting language.
