The idea is fantastic but I am very skeptical how this would handle state drift and larger projects.

Anyways, being able to visualize infrastructure this way is pretty great. Currently, the way it usually works is to draw the infra and then manually write the tf resources. This seems like it would simplify the process greatly since one could genereate the IAC directly from the diagrams. Pretty neat (if it works well).

Very nice question about the state drift, we are working on it in a way to have a live sync with the existing infra and either suggest a remediation or generate an alarm. We are working hard to make it work well and at the current stage (full support for GCP, Azure & AWS) we are having an amazing results.
