Anecdotally, and perhaps keep in mind I'm quite skilled with bash, in school we had a few people managing their desktops with scripts. Set things like desktop preferences, ssh config, sometimes add a different desktop environment (we each had our own user and it worked with LDAP, so we roamed around and that's why this was useful). I was the only one using bash, some others in my year used Ansible. They seemed to be spending half of each afternoon trying to fix something in Ansible, also trying to use other people's scripts if I remember correctly, etc.; for me another preference was just another line of bash and it worked reliably given that the desktops were all the same OS.
If you know bash already and you don't want to use it to reinvent a big wheel, yeah I would not hesitate to use it after seeing this struggle with more modern tools. Most of the Docker setup configs I see are already 60% bash commands strung together with backslashes on each line and broken syntax highlighting (because you're in a different file format).
I had to look up what depends_on accomplishes, so maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't an If/then/else sort that out as well as give you more options?
