I've tried to move large ansible playbooks to pyinfra and there is no any benefit in the end. pyinfra is also "state"-oriented and for complex cases with logic you have to perform some acrobatics. IMHO switch resulted in the same mess as ansible playbooks.

Note: I am python-fanatic with 15y experience.

What do you mean by "state-oriented"?

Also: complex cases will likely result in complex code. Do you have a viable alternative for this?

My imperative Fabric 1k line deploy scripts in the past allowed to encapsulate complexity because I had remote state on hands.
