I just started using gpg-agent recently [1] when I had to figure out how to store secrets in Ansible's Vault without entering the vault passphrase every time. Here's the guide I used:
It works really well! I open a terminal, use ssh-agent to get access to the master SSH key, and do my Ansible stuff, which then uses gpg-agent to access the Vault. I basically end up with a terminal session with elevated privileges.
[1] other than Emacs's built-in support for working with encrypted files, I guess
