An alternative opinion: When I worked at a large tech company, my team made a conscious decision to not use terraform. This gave us some key advantages- we are able to adopt new cloud features immediately, months before they were available in tf, and our direct cloud access let us build features that would surprise the teams using tf within the company.
If your core competency isn't dependent on your cloud platform tf is a great tool. But using cloud APIs directly was great for us.
