Doesn't reinstalling the system when changes are needed mean very slow deploys though?

Sure, but we ansible users are already accustomed to that. :/

More seriously, ansible is terrible and I have a long list of complaints, but it is still better than everything else at the moment. Being able to run playbooks from anywhere without a special controller host is very important, and seems to have been missed by most competitors.

If you deploy in containers, it's not. But yeah, that comes with it's own challenges.
