The AI assistant seen here is a very good idea. I will actually share this with my team.
I imagine the terraform conversion doesn't work when you use in-house written providers (in golang), is this correct?
If you need help with this, please reach out to me on the Pulumi community slack at https://slack.pulumi.com and happy to help
I recommend checking out Spacelift[0]. It's a CI/CD system specialized for Infra as Code, including Terraform and Pulumi. We have both a ton of additional features, as well as a much more reasonable pricing model, so we've recently been talking a lot to folks wanting to migrate from TFC due to the changes you've mentioned.
You can easily reach out to us on the website by scheduling a demo, using the chat widget, or just sending me an email (see my profile).

Disclaimer: Software Engineering Team Lead at Spacelift, so take this with a healthy grain of salt, but I do legitimately think it's a great product.
Bit of a catch-22 to setup managed postgres for state, tailscale network with a vm as exit-node (to access postgres via VPN/lan - not Internet) - via Terraform - and then switch state from local (initial setup) to postgres.
But nice to be able to eg: interact with a different provider for DNS, supplying IPs from other resources.
