The stack I manage with Pulumi is currently around 300 resources. (I think that count is inflated by all the secrets in AWS Secrets Manager, because each secret has two resources: the secret and the current version.) I currently manage it by myself, but I'm hoping that won't be the case for very long.

Maybe the ending of my previous comment was too cynical. But I think I've repeatedly made the mistake of valuing my productivity and happiness as a currently solo developer over what will let my company take full advantage of a big third-party ecosystem (including a large talent pool).

I don't think you're too cynical at all - I think you're exactly right! It's often much more sensible to use the "tried and true" stuff most of the time.

In my particular case I don't plan to have my company grow much at all - we're staying small. I think Pulumi is a sensible "bet" for me, because it does what I need right now really well. Sure, there's a bit of a risk, but worst case scenario I would spend a day or two to migrate what I have back to Terraform.

I would definitely not have made the call to "let's just switch everything to Pulumi" if I was still working at a larger company. As you said, a large talent pool / community is a huge deal when you have the option to hire people who can spend time learning a particular tool or language.
