Development speed is important. You can use the most reliable thing in the world if it takes a day to test/build/deploy.
And simple imperative script is a lot more readable than a custom DSL with who knows what ruby hooks.
Currently the CM system that makes sense on the long run is a git repo for Terraform. (Because everything else runs in containers anyway, and to set up the immutable images you don't need "state management". And where you need it you need active state management such as k8s and its specific operators.)
