Absolutely. Automate relentlessly. As a bonus, the recipes/playbooks you develop serve as documentation for how things are configured.

Yeah that's a huge bonus that I didn't anticipate before beginning. My cookbooks are essentially dynamic documentation that morph with my changes in system requirements.

Better yet, version controlled changes to recipes are an excellent logbook for sysadmin teams.
