Except all the modules you don't use aren't getting in your way. I'd be totally for this as a simpler solution for simpler use cases, if it was actually easier than Ansible to get installed and set up. Since it's not, you're paying the same upfront cost that you'd pay for the more powerful tool, except you'll hit a wall if you try to expand it later.
