Centralized user mangement for Linux
Hell, the ansible roles I maintain use Molecule for testing.

Molecule 6 Developer Preview and Feedback
The Ansible team announced at AnsibleFest and Ansible Community Days last month that Molecule will be released as a developer preview on its way to being a fully supported part of the Ansible platform. In order to achieve this, Molecule will need to be streamlined and refocused as a test runner for functional testing of Ansible playbooks and roles using Ansible itself. This will require a number of breaking changes to happen before releasing “Molecule 6” in order to do all of this. You can read about the changes here and we welcome your questions and feedback on their roll out: https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule/milestone/35

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.

Does anyone use HashiCorp Vagrant anymore?
I’m assuming you are using Molecule: https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule

Should ansible-lint, molecule and other tools use a single irc channel?
Please upvote your prefered answer from the https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule/discussions/3130 survey which proposed joining ansible-lint and ansible-molecule channels when we move them from freenode irc to libera.chat. There is also an option to keep the channels separated.

With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
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
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.
