When I switched from Azure to AWS I just had to learn AWS specifics and then could use my existing TF knowledge to put it in code. No need to learn CDK as well. If I ever end up working in GCP, it will hopefully be the same.

If you solely work with one cloud and don't intend on switching cloud providers or working in a context where multiple cloud providers are used, then by all means specialise. Personally I'm working as a software engineer, so I don't really care in which cloud it runs, as long as I can provision whatever resources I need.

If you were using CDK you’d switch to bicep which also uses code instead of config files.
For anyone else out of the loop, that appears to be:
