Hi Nicolas, that's an interesting failure, as all modules should work just fine via ad-hoc mode. I'm wondering if there's some other error occurring here, and it's simply being caught by that exception handler.
Feel free to open a Github issue for this, but in the mean time you might want to try other options and/or ensure that what you have does not fail when run via a playbook.
