Same waiting with Terraform. If you aren't automating windows installs and/or imaging, count yourself lucky :) Terraform also lacks a lot of the extra "smarts"

Terraform also lacks a lot of the extra "smarts" that CF has; like rolling updates of any kind and some other higher level automation across different services. They take very much a blue/green approach which is beyond limiting for some services.
Ran into a few broken states using Cloud Formation via Serverless project. Luckily had been in the habbit of keeping "statefull" AWS resources such as queues, databases, and other stuff in their own stacks(or Terraform) to keep their stacks complication to a minimum and mitigate the impact of the more complicated stacks needing to be deleted..
Ultimately I started going with and promote a hybrid approach where Terraform makes sense; Terraform for base infrastructure(including most stateful resources) and CF for stuff like autoscale groups and etc.
