Someone from opscode has said. "When you get a shiney new hammer, suddenly, everything becomes a nail" Roles are good and bad. With that said. You have to know what your infrastructure requires or needs both present and future. The moment you require logic you need to look at wrapper cookbooks. 

As an example. I use roles to set values that are static and are unlikely to change and define various environment specific run lists because that's how my company's business model dictates and provides the most sense to our day to day operations.
