Really? For years and years we put our tfstate files into private S3 buckets at $DAYJOB and it seemed to work just fine. We didn't even take pains to ensure that everyone was on the very same version of the Terraform CLI. What problems did you guys run into?

One person upgrading terraform can break the state format for backwards compatibility. We use direnv with asdf to ensure everyone is in the same version now.

Run the apply via a pipeline. Pr merged in. Plan runs. Approval gate for apply.

Works on our staging and production environments, but the feedback loop is too long for development. I mean, if it was literally the only way then we’d live with it, but ensuring everyone is using the same version is enough.
