I have 15 VM's running for clients and I'm looking for a way to keep the tools up to date without having to connect to each server and do it manually. A few examples are WinDirStat, Firefox, SSMS, Filelocator, etc.

We have expanded recently and I'm at the limits of doing this manually. These servers are not domain joined and are in separate virtual networks.

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.
