On this point specifically, we have the config_template module[1] in OpenStack-Ansible, which sounds like it already does similar things to what you are after. Essentially you can supply a yaml formatted config and it will generate a json, ini or yaml conf file for you. We have some docs around using the module [2] - and it's already in use by the ceph-ansible project. We use it on top of templates, to allow the deployer to specify any options that aren't templated, but you could just as easily use it on a blank/empty start point and do away with templates completely. We tried to push it into Ansible core a few years ago, but there was push back based on there being other ways to achieve that, but I think there has been a shift in Ansible's approach to accepting new features/modules - so Kevin Carter (cloudnull) is going to give that another go at upstreaming it, since it seems generically useful for Ansible projects. Hopefully that is useful, happy to discuss this more (or any other collaboration points!) if that does sound interesting.
