I'm not sure how you can replace your infrastructure with an OCI image, provided that OCI image means a container image?
I don't think Ansible is a waste of effort. For example, we have OpenStack images that we spawn, but use Ansible to have repeatable builds of those images. Additionally, you can learn enough Ansible in a weekend to be dangerous. IMO the payoff is there, it's a very simple yet effective framework, depending on your usecases.
