That’s only true if you go with an architecture that involves doing so in terraform. A common pattern I implement is an initial management cluster bootstrap that runs Argo then after that it’s possible to manage everything, including cluster components of “child” clusters, using Argo. Can use either cluster api provider or cross plane for that, or one of the cloud specific ones like ack.

This is similar to what I do. Terraform for anything that can't be in K8s. Create EKS cluster and bootstrap it with Argo. Then everything else is blissfully not in Terraform.
