I doubt a "natural language" approach would work; the natural language for the domain has to be very precise. Just like the "natural language" for software has to be similar to either C or LISP. You are giving precise technical instructions which will be run by a machine.

"Hey, just spin up a server with enough capacity, alright?" Yes, sure. Please define capacity.

Those definitions are usually in the docs, which is why the code makes so many references to the docs.

Many infra-as-code systems allow you to add comments to the docs, which (if done well) can really help.

And infra-as-code is much superior to infra-as-let's-click-on-the-gui-until-it-works' Yes, it is hard to read (I know, I do it for a living). But at least you have a document which describes the infra!
