If you have the skills on hand then I think it's worth doing TF off the bat, otherwise it's probably better to wait until you have the requisite pain/motivation to learn. It's a pain in the ass to learn how to do TF _initially_ but not bad to do after you learn, and going forward you avoid a lot of "oh wtf just happened" moments during deployments/infrastructure changes.
