I think human editable config files become unsustainable after they reach a certain size, and while I like Ansible a lot, you probably shouldn't be embedding code in them.

For well over a decade, I've felt we missed the boat with XML, XSD, and friends to make a generic, literal user interface for configuration such that you didn't need to rely on referencing documentation for valid options and such and usable interfaces could be presented instead of editing the text directly.
