Answer 1

I manage my jenkins CI/CD pipelines and setup with ansible, and I rely heavily on available libraries (groovy DSL, python jenkins-job-builder) and template the guts of the the jenkins XML config using jinja2. I got asked to showcase what can be done with ansible at a local meetup, and have been working some code that I will be delivering and sharing at that meetup in the new year. I seriously think this stuff could help you a lot, I currently use this setup in my current project and can't imagine managing jenkins any other way.
