"Stateless is better", until you remove a tf file or resource from your code and Terraform have no way to tell if that resource ever existed in the provider during the apply to delete it, because there's nowhere to compare and it is impractical to query all existent resources and all tags/ids from those resources in the cloud provider on every infrastructure change (imagine multiple CIs doing that all day long, there's not enough api quota and your pipeline will take forever just for terraform know what to change in a medium/large organization).

That deletion and modification problems happens in Ansible and other provisioning tools that relies in idempotency, and that is one of the things that makes Terraform different from them. A stateless Terraform is useless, it's better use other provisioning tools.
