> you're going to modify one or two small things manually here and there over the years.

Huh? This is a strange assumption to make. Is your premise that IAC can't ever be truly reproducible?

If you are modifying things manually then you're not doing IAC.

Yeah as soon as you start hand tweaking the system it breaks IAC.

If you hand modify the already IAC system , you are not doing IAC. IAC with CI/CD is what we do. We don't even use AWS Console , we do everything in terraform/opentofu code.

The first rule of IAC club is that you do not hand modify your infrastructure.
