Thanks for your input, even though I don't fully agree.
register vars / set_facts: If some "default" configuration options are e.g.
gathered by shell commands and registered as variables with set_fact, this
can by easily solved by just adding *when: var is not defined* to the
particular task(s)
You can pass the path to a YAML file to -e/--extra-vars, which allows them
to keep their configuration within a separate file.
--extra-vars @path/to/file.yml

Thanks, that already helps a lot! Anyway, there are still cases where variables
have to be overwritten differently for specific hosts / host groups. So this is
still not the overall solution for the issue in general. Regarding the
suggestion I made for adding an additional option to include_vars
