FWIW, we have the following at the top of all of our tasks/main.yml:

# include the distro-specific stuff
- include: debian.yml
  when: ansible_distribution == 'Debian' or ansible_distribution == 'Ubuntu'

- include: rhel.yml
  when: ansible_distribution == 'CentOS' or ansible_distribution == 'Red 
Hat Enterprise Linux'


And then do "distro specific" stuff in those files.

Anything that can be done across both distro types is set out as tasks 
*after* the above includes.

Cheers,

Matt
