Gathering a set_fact on hosts and combining to a single dictionary for an html report
If you want an example of this in action, I made an example that does what you are describing.

How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
If you want custom feedback of job status, I have employed this method before. It's a little cumbersome for everyday use, but for big or important jobs it's one way to get a custom report of task output and host failures. Or if you're feeling extra, you can do the full version.

What are you using for patch management?
For RHEL servers, we use reposync to mirror patches locally, and then install them with yum. We drive the process with a series of Ansible playbooks. We have some optional host vars or group vars we can declare to tune the patching behavior per-host, or to handle custom patching scenarios. Our patching process generates a report similar to this one.

Linux Patching
I uploaded a stripped-down version of it here, if you need ideas. More details and examples here.

Help with getting outputs from Ansible into a file with good output
I made something similar a while back to report on patch activity; try this example for some ideas.

Controlled and staggered patching
To generate a patch report, one option is to use a jinja template to compile an HTML-formatted email. For a working example to play with, see this github.
-
using ansible_facts for reporting
You can generate a "pretty" HTML report using a Jinja template. This github example may be a little overkill for your needs, but it shows how you can assemble a report with per-host facts and task status using Jinja templates.

You did WHAT with Ansible?! Automate the Uncommon (my AnsibleFest 2021 Presentation)
As you mentioned, using Jinja to generate HTML for job reports. When renovating our script-based patching process for Linux, we had to choose between Redhat Satellite and rolling our own. We found that Satellite was overkill for our needs, and not worth the maintenance fuss and licensing costs. The biggest draw of Satellite for management was reporting... so I tortured Jinja into making a pretty CSS-styled report at the end of our patching playbook. Everyone is happy, and we have one less tool to maintain!

Generating a List of Pending Updates
For our patch reporting, we run the yum check-update command and put the output in an HTML template that is emailed to groups. The report we assemble is similar to this.
