Could use tools like ansible, chef, etc.
Why aren't they part of a domain?

Even if they weren't, could use something like Chocolatey to automate updates, along with ansible, chef, etc.
Yeah for sure. From a security perspective s domain acts as a boundary though and when done correctly adds protection. 15 VMs all windows based would benefit from this and would add very little overhead.
PDQ Deploy and Inventory. Simple and effective.
Tactical RMM works well for me. You also can use ssh.
You will need a software manager such as Ruckzuck or scoop
We are using Tanium, just put the agent on the servers and you are good to go...build your packages and set up deployment jobs.
It also handles Windows patching, and can do system inventory, among other features.
It's also great for software deployments to you remote workforce systems that are rarely/never on the corporate network.
And seriously, you want a domain. GPOs are incredibly useful for pushing out a huge variety of Windows config changes extremely easily.
