Monolithic state files with large resource counts cause blast radius and performance degradation
7Managing many resources in a single Terraform state increases blast radius (a single error affects many resources), slows plan/apply execution, and prevents new changes if any resource drifts. Resource drift in one resource blocks the entire apply.

State refactoring and cross-boundary resource moves lack tooling support
7Moving resources between state files or across state boundaries is not supported by terraform mv or other built-in tools. Teams must manually edit JSON state files or write custom tooling to reorganize infrastructure across projects or environments.
