Indeed.
I've been using NetBox (https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for
a few years, and have been very happy with it -- it's a combination:
* IP address management (IPAM) - IP networks and addresses, VRFs, and VLANs
* Equipment racks - Organized by group and site
* Devices - Types of devices and where they are installed
* Connections - Network, console, and power connections among devices
* Virtualization - Virtual machines and clusters
* Data circuits - Long-haul communications circuits and providers
* Secrets - Encrypted storage of sensitive credentials

I use it as the primary source of truth for my personal networks /
wife's client's networks / other networks I help run.
As well as answering "Where the hell is 192.0.2.23?!" it also answers
"What port is the machine foo.bar.exmaple.com connected to, what color
is the cable, what is it labeled as, what rack is it in, and what is
the access code to open the cabinet?!".

It doesn't natively generate DNS zonefiles, but there are plugins
which can do so...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
