Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).
-
Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
ara records ansible playbooks and makes them easier to understand and troubleshoot.
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.

Best options for monitoring Ansible deployment times
I do not know if this would help but https://ara.recordsansible.org/ offers some sort of visibility and visual approach. setup might take some time but it can offer information, also it uses some sort of plugin which logs a lot of stuff, which Ara reads and offers the mentioned stuff above.
Maybe ansible ara is what you‘re searching for.
molecule
-
Centralized user mangement for Linux
Hell, the ansible roles I maintain use Molecule for testing.
-
Learned bit of Ansible to automate some post-fresh-Arch-install work
I would recommend you to use roles instead of just playbooks and to test them with molecule. Molecule allows you to quickly test your Ansible roles in a fresh Arch Linux podman container, completely isolated from your real system.
