The "Gathering Facts" task has been taking too much of my time, and I haven't been able to complete it in a few days.

i bet you are on windows 11 no ?
has i saw windows 11 use virtualbox on top of hyper-v. this made the script and the vms super slow and it finish with timeout.
The only workaround i have for that is turning down hyper-v (but doing that will remove some security features on windows 11, so i guess is not a good idea).

See this post about virtualbox with/without hyper-v: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=99390

You can start a linux-live-usb, configure virtualbox or vmware, configure all the dependencies and start the lab installation.
Then just start Windows normally and import the vms.
Virtualbox: click on .vbox, create a new network interface and configure the lab's network interface.
VmWare: Configure the new network interface, click on .vmx and configure the interface in the vm.

It worked for me.
@Mayfly277 Would it be interesting to put it as a new tutorial or a tshoot?

Maybe oneday i will push the complete lab to vagrant and it will be up directly after the download ^^
