If you mistakenly believe using `ansible-runner` is too much work, then you 
can instead do even more work to put your tasks in blocks with `rescue` and 
`always` sections to record the data which you can later collate. See 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_blocks.html#handling-errors-with-blocks
 
for details.

If you can live with less fine-grained information - i.e. not down to the 
task level - then familiarize yourself with `RETRY_FILES_ENABLED` and 
`RETRY_FILES_SAVE_PATH`. See `ansible-config list` for details on those. 
These tell Ansible to list the hosts which failed a run in the designated 
file.

Another possibility that fits sort of in-between the first two is to insert 
a `run_once: true` task at select points in your playbook to compare the 
`ansible_play_hosts_all` and `ansible_play_hosts` lists to see how they 
differ. The difference will be the hosts which have failed at that point. 
The effectiveness of this method depends on the `strategy` your plays 
employ. In other words, all hosts' task executions have to be in-sync at 
the time this `run_once` task runs. (I have not experimented with this. Nor 
with the other suggestions either.)
