I'd much rather see a state transition diagram (expecting that many of the
N×N theoretical state transitions wouldn’t actually be possible).

Please add roles with a description:
>
> Role              | Description
> ------------------+-----------------------------------------

I’d rather collapse these two: what does “deploy” of an unconfigured role
even mean, and how can I configure something that hasn‘t been deployed?

activation_failed | Activation (with systemd) failed

Do we need to be *that* specific?  Perhaps just “failed” meaning
“successfully deployed but not working”?

Is there a need for time stamps for these states?

Not timestamps, no.  But there is a need to have an user-accessible log,
and having it machine-parsable would be even better.
