>Not to mention, CloudFormation actually allows ~transactions, which is something you can't really get without cooperation from the cloud provider (terraform and pulumi both use cloudformation on AWS for exactly this reason)

Terraform and Pulumi use Cloudformation?

Sorry, I was mistaken about this. I was under the impression terraform would create transactions with cloudformation, but it only does this if you manually create cloudformation resources.

aws recently launched cloud control, which more or less decouples the individual resource management aspect of cloudformation from everything else. providers like terraform/pulumi can use it in lieu of manual integrations with every aws api.
