Ok, there could be a number of things going on here. WimRM enforces quotas on things like maximum amount of memory used and other resources, presumably as a security measure.
Another thing that could be going on here is that one or more of the 18 things that are installed require an interactive user. I have seen this even on some installers which are running in a silent mode. I would suggest breaking up the installer script so into several pieces and using Write-Host to report progress. Then run your playbook with -v so you can see the progress your script is making. You could also check the windows event logs for error messages.
