<p dir="ltr">So one can run a cron job to have ansible push cron jobs...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Irony :-)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cron management is a pain. Satellite server and spacewalk had cron management through a file push similar to what ansible does. It is time manageable as well with the ability to schedule configuration changes per machine or cluster.</p>

You can use it to drop files in /etc/cron.d (or whatever) or use the cron module to schedule jobs.
