I wrote myself a ansible role installing Arch including formatting the drives. There is no reason for doing so, I just thought it would be funny to use ansible for that! Because I’m using absible, I can set up a lot of things via variables. Setting up 10 systems at the same time? No problem! Just define all of them within a single playbook https://github.com/MayNiklas/ansible-arch-setup
Most unix shells have these issues. There is 'Oil Shell' (https://www.oilshell.org/ ), which is an attempt to clean up some of the quirks of shells as a languge, but it's quite an obscure one. On windows there's Powershell which is basically an object oriented scripting language which has quite a lot of neat concepts (it also avoids the issue in unix of each command basically needing to parse and serialise its input and output in an ad-hoc fashion by allowing pipes of structured objects).
