We don't always need the role data, if the presumption is that we'll be doing a pg_restore in conjunction with an ansible role which creates all required roles. But, having a copy of the role data will never hurt! It also gives us a straightforward way of restoring a database to a standalone postgres instance without having to have provisioned a dedicated VM with the relevant ansible roles.

At present we use myriad one-off per host scripts to do a pg_dump, and they all do (or probably should do) the same thing. In combination with setting options in the host's backup config file, I think this single script covers all our routine pg backups.
