Isn't it fairly common for config management tools to use agents? Chef and Puppet both do.
Once your configuration management is tied into your CI/CD pipeline, I don't really see much of a difference between an agent running on each machine vs a master node that has a root ssh key into your whole fleet.

Presumably more so on otherwise-inaccessible systems, by the laws of life. The agent saved systems isolated in places like x-ray hutches a number of times back when I thought using cfengine was a good idea.
