journald will happily fill up /var/log with the default settings.
Alter the SystemMaxUse key in /etc/systemd/journald.conf to limit the disk usage of the system journal. E.g.

[Journal]
SystemMaxUse=200M

Recommend using the community ini_file module: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/ini_file_module.html
