Automated testing, development of a substantial number of Ansible roles
Basic systemd stuff works fine in Docker with some extra privileges (example), for more complex scenarios (involving firewall, inserting kernel modules, etc) there is molecule-vagrant. I use it with Libvirt/KVM and find the experience rather enjoyable

Unix file pre-processor for custom templating around any system
I do not use Ansible for dotfiles management, only for OS configuration. For dotfiles I've settled on simple custom bash script that can only symlink or copy files - it works well both on Linux and Windows. Using include dirs is a poor replacement for templating but it's enough for me so far.
