> but in practice this is a big loser in AWS where a staggering number of resources are created by one API call and then tagged as a followup API call

We have a bot at work that sends you (or a DL with a bunch of people) a nastygram if you forget to tag your resources, but it doesn't know this. So if CloudFormation isn't done, you'll get the email and then have to respond to everyone with a screenshot showing that you didn't in fact goof it up. I wonder if you can make it so EventBridge (or however it's implemented, I'm not sure) delay an event for 30 seconds so they don't actually look until CF is done tagging.
