It depends on your infra. If you're largely ephemeral hosts, then Ansible is ideal for single instance provisioning. Also if you're support windows hosts Ansible's support here is less than stellar, it's effectively a execute wrapper for running powershell scripts you have to write.
If your hosts have a long duty-cycle Chef may still work better as it handles upgrades and MIA hosts coming back a bit better. I believe someone else in the comments mentioned the OSS project for it https//cinc.sh if you go that route. I've generally found Chef to scale better beyond 1000 nodes, up to about 100k.
