I agree with you, it will be less fun or cool but uploading / executing a script on a number of servers or using cluster SSH is certainly going to be quicker and more deterministic than logging into a fancy webpage and fiddling for each and every one

I use webmin + cockpit.

Gonna look up LandScape and see what it's like.
