I'm not sure cron is big enough to make a role worthwhile.

You mean make a role that takes file/template name, when to run and puts
it in /etc/cron.d/ ?
  Yes absolutely ! 
 
We do have the ansible 'cron' module, which can do /etc/cron.d/ files as
well, but of course still needs copying the template/file script first
before it can be scheduled.

So, I could be convinced, but I don't think it's worth it off hand...
   
      The idea is to minimize the task of ansible roles, and avoid having the same tasks everywhere (copy script and schedule the job). I admit that it's not going to be easy but it can be done .
      Otherwise we will have only one role (cron) , and an overloading variable under group_vars. 

 
Happy to hear other/more thoughts on it tho, and thanks for bringing up
the idea. It's nice when we can consolidate things into less
duplication. :)
