Ansible is a great tool but, it has more overhead. What about something simple like unattended upgrades at least to start with.

But unattended updates are done by the OS, and can't be scheduled through a third party. If I only want updates on a specific date and time, there must be something triggering it, for example ansible. Almost all business have a fixed day and time for updates. So doing auto updates is not very handy.
Also other OS'ses don't have this option by default, which makes it not very useful for patch management as well.

other thing: updates separated by groups would be wonderful, so test can be deployed on let's say Tuesday, production on Saturday.

One thing that is important, if you'd just use cron, it could be an issue, because if you'd set for example 'the 3rd Tuesday test' and 'the 3rd Saturday prod', it could trigger prod first if the month starts on a Saturday.

It would be perfect to use custom ansible scripts for like specific host groups
