The thread starter meant, AFAICT, that Ansible scales down nicely. If you have 3-4 boxes, maybe 0MQ is overkill, and even running a a Chef client constantly is overkill.

Exactly. Having to install chef and all it's dependencies to install nginx and a few config files in the end feels really wasteful. With ansible, there are zero server-side dependencies.
