Not specifically a cluster provisioning system, but we use Foreman + Puppet to provision our systems, which are stateful. The deploy time is kind of lengthy, ~45 minutes per node, but the results are consistent and changes can be made to systems after deployment via Puppet. Puppet operates in master-less mode so modules and data come from a NFS mount, which allows Puppet to scale beyond the limits of the Puppet masters.
