Reading the backlog of a meeting I Wasn't able to attend, I learnt that John had issues with a nginx role.
I've checked and robertdebock has an nginx role which he supports on Fedora: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/roles/robertdebock/nginx/
I also wanted to point out that the Nginx people have their own collections, one of which includes a role that installs Nginx and another role that configures it.
I suspect using either option is going to be better than maintaining your own.

I agree, basically. As I see it, we have to provide a playbook to accomplish the task. And we (re)use roles as a kind of library to delegate standard tasks which have to be done over and oder again in the same way.
I’m not the expert in Ansible. But it is my impression some try to provide a kind of 'jack of all trades‘. And I don’t know if that would be really usefull. Robert seems not so much on that track.

I would support using the Nginx collections.
Installation s/b separated from configuration.
There also might be several separate configuration collections (one for static web, one for reverse-proxy, one for ssh to transaction processor, etc). The installation s/b required, but the configuration ones could be chose and run as needed.

Sorry, I forgot to add a link to the collection: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/nginxinc/nginx_core/content/
