I like group_vars and host_vars.
Using group_vars and host_vars, we have a lot of files for hosts.
But, if we use group_vars, and vars_files, we can reduce drastically the
number of files, in one or two file, one for credentials and one for other
variables .
vars_files are not described in

Is there a way to tell ansible to set a service restart task sometime in

later for node3, and so on.

Common auth functions for things like ec2 live here -
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/module_utils
OpenStack really needs stubs here for common auth, and then it can take
variables like EC2/RAX/GCE and others.
This would also make sure all that happens in one place.
If your variable information is about multiple hosts, it belongs in
group_vars not host_vars. Consider applying more groups if you wish to
include them.
vars_files is definitely subscribed, but most people set variables in roles
now, rather than in the play at the top.

If I understand correctly, this is what add_hosts is for. After you've
dynamically created a host you can add it to a group and then in a
subsequent play include a role that would configure that group.

A possible workaround would be to make a somewhat non-idiomatic version
