I think that for some things where there are specialized protocols available to configure certain things it can be easier to use them instead of trying to make puppet do them same. But I'd definitely configure the servers and clients for those protocols using Puppet.
Examples would be using nss_ldap and LDAP server instead of having Puppet query your LDAP server and creating entries in /etc/passwd. Or using DHCP to configure networking instead of having puppet setting it statically on your hosts. Or using pam_krb5 and a Kerberos KDC instead of having puppet distribute password hashes.
