I have done something sort-of-similar in a different context (generate code from an input specification), so I will provide an outline of what I did to provide some food for thought. I used Config4* (disclosure: I developed that). If the approach I describe below is of interest to you, then I suggest you read Chapters 2 and 3 of the Config4* Getting Started Guide to get an overview of the Config4* syntax and API. Alternatively, express the concepts below in a different configuration syntax, such as XML.

Config4* is a configuration syntax, and the subset of syntax relevant to this discussion is as follows:

Q: "I want to run the playbook only on the hosts based on the ansible_distribution."

A: It's not possible to include a playbook. This would run the playbooks recursively.

Only import of a playbook is available. Moreover import_playbook is not a task. It's simply a tool to modularize large playbooks with multiple plays.

Ansible conditionals do not apply to import_playbook the same way as they do not apply to playbooks.

Instead, it is possible to create a group that will be used in the playbook.
