It basically depends on the formation of your team.
A bunch of oldschools sysadmins who "don't code"? Terraform is ridgid and on-rails enough that it probably helps sort of keep things sensible compared to just using boto. Almost like it was a framework, specifically defined to do that sort of thing.
It does sort of suck though, but what sucks less?
Edit: My solution is to stick as much as possible into k8s, but obviously that comes with its own warts, and to be fair to terraform, a lot of terraforms warts are just the underlying API warts leaking through.
