I've been successfully using transmission-daemon since January. It can
definitely be managed via config files, but it expects to own config
files - it overwrites them when the process terminates. This can be
worked around easily, eg. by updating config files when the deamon is
not running:

- name: Create transmission config directory
  file: dest=/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/
state=directory owner=transmission group=transmission

- name: Copy transmission config file
  template: src=settings.json.j2
dest=/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
  register: settings_j2

- name: Stop transmission-daemon
  service: name=transmission-daemon state=stopped
  when: settings_j2.changed

- name: Copy transmission config file again
  template: src=settings.json.j2
dest=/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
  when: settings_j2.changed

- name: Start and enable transmission-daemon
  service: name=transmission-daemon state=started enabled=true
