I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…
Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)
Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!

Ansible is definitely one way to do this. If your machines are VMs, then also building VM images with packer can be the way.
For tmux, vim, etc. You can still use ansible or some specific tool for dotfiles, like chezmoi (there are a bunch). You can even use ansible to run chezmoi!
