I do think this will make things more complex. 

Now, we have 1 ansible playbook to make a working jenkins builder [1],
and later, we would have a half playbook, half jenkins jobs. 

We would still need to have stuff in ansible, because we need to
configure the VM before leting jenkins run (installing java, setting the
user and ssh keys, for a start, removing extra network card and ipv6 for
more complicated stuff).

What advantages would it bring to convert the existing work to jenkins
jobs that we do not already have ?
