Is there a proper way to get vars.keys() once vars is gone?

no, but that is a misleading usage, not all vars are in 'vars'

Would be great to have a playbook_name to get the filename of the running playbook. Couldn't find the equivalent functionality

This is fantastic content, thanks @bcoca for writing it up. I'd suggest a couple of changes:
- Call the file
special_vars.rst - Put it in the
reference_appendicesdirectory, since it's not task-focused - Add an anchor (
.. _special_variables:) - Make the link from the
playbooks_variablespage a :ref: instead of a :doc:
