Loads of work but also a big chunk of learning possible, sure.

That's what software like ansible is good for.

It really pays off to learn to use such a tool ... even when you only

Writing your first roles and playbooks takes more time than "simply"
setting up stuff manually. But it really helps as soon as you roll that
out to the second, third, X-th server.
