A complete Ansible repository for TiKV installation is certainly useful, but doesn't cover all potential host and environment setup situations and is inflexible when it needs to be integrated into a larger deployment.
The common solution to this problem is a clear separation between Ansible roles, playbooks and possibly inventories. External roles can be managed easily with Ansible Galaxy, which supports pulling roles from various sources. GitHub repositories are one possibility, so no other platforms (such as galaxy.ansible.com) are needed.
It should also be noted that Ansible is a well-known tool among systems engineers. I don't think it's necessary to explain project setup and installation/configuration of unrelated software in the documentation.
I suggest:
Moving all PD/TiDB/TiKV/TiSpark/... roles into separate repositories
Adding a requirements.yml to tidb-ansible that references the role repositories
Removing host setup playbooks/roles from tidb-ansible that are not relevant for every platform, focus on one public cloud example that can be deployed without prerequisites

As an example, here is a complete role for Hashicorp Consul installation: https://github.com/brianshumate/ansible-consul
The README also documents usage and supported variables.
