I ended up going this route:

---
- hosts: "{{ host }}"
  vars:
    dest_dir: "/tmp/fetched"
  tasks:
    - name: Ensure destination directory exists
      file:
        dest: "{{ dest_dir }}"
        state: directory
      changed_when: false

    - name: Fetch files from remote server
      fetch:
        src: "{{item.src}}"
        dest: "{{item.dest}}"
        flat: yes
      with_items:
        - {src: "/etc/security/limits.conf", dest: "{{ dest_dir }}/{{ 
inventory_hostname }}_limits.conf"}
        - {src: "/etc/sysctl.conf", dest: "{{ dest_dir }}/{{ 
inventory_hostname }}_sysctl.conf"}
        - {src: "/boot/grub/grub.conf", dest: "{{ dest_dir }}/{{ 
inventory_hostname }}_grub.conf"}

    - name: Compress results
      archive:
        path: "{{ dest_dir }}/"
        dest: "{{ dest_dir }}.tar.bz2"
        format: bz2
      delegate_to: localhost
      notify:
        - Email results
        - Cleanup local files
