Has anyone found a good way to manage the Layer8 side of ansible automation

Within my network I have a vxlan deployment with 80+ switches that I manage. The workload with managing the numerous vlans and VRF's is becoming very time consuming, and I've been looking for automation solutions. I've been playing with Ansible, and have been able to automate a lot of the task that I do on a day to day basis, but I'm running into issues with ease of use. My ansible variables file has become overwhelming with all of the VRF settings, and descriptions and vlans. Has anyone found a good way to manage the variables? Can I use a CSV file or something similar? Would Ansible Tower be the answer? Kinda lost on this one and looking for guidance.
