Once in a while, I forget to use Fn when I should.

But I'll take that annoyance anyday over the absolute pain of HCL.

I haven't tried Pulumi, I will eventually. (Cloud services have TF providers more often than Pulumi ones. But if Pulumi is easy to extend, maybe doesn't matter.)

I suspect Pulumi is easy to extend because most of the API is basically a state-preserving, idempotent wrapper around existing APIs. When I was messing with it on GCP, their API almost always used the exact same objects the GCP API accepted. I could actually use the GCP docs to create the objects (there are big upsides and downsides to this).
