No arguments there. All this is is just chef recipes to do basically that. This blog post is a good start but if you have an osx environment you can setup netboot and have a truly automatic install+setup with chef. I'm a bigger fan of using chef/puppet/whatever over personal shell scripts as then you can test your automation out in a vm. I just build osx vm's and validate my osx automation with that.
