Do you have more examples? Because: "is the started service listening on the expected port, is the process of the service daemon running"

can all be done with straight Ansible as well.

I'm just having a hard time understanding the real added value to a goss / ansible combo.

Plus: If you do this after installing with ansible. It's basically a check right? Like: Nagios or other monitoring.

I'd rather that just use THAT and spend time in creating checks in those systems instead of spending time in goss?
