Could you give us more detail of your usecase step-by-step?

I believe I have a somewhat similar usecase, so will chime in.
With these changes I'd be able to:

1. Get a list of hosts using Netbox plugin for Ansible;
2. Create Ansible groups using tag names and add my hosts to these groups;
3. Add tag's Config Context to group variables;
4. Create/Update hosts in Zabbix using Zabbix plugin for Ansible.

Basically, it would allow me to use tags as Ansible groups, and Config Contexts as group_vars.
Or I could simply store a more general Zabbix config for, say, a Tenant or a Site, and use tag's CC to store a boolean - whether to enable monitoring for this host.
