Cool, can I see an example of how your step function looks in CDK? We actually do use the ASL to pass into CDK using @matthewbonig/state-machine and it looks something like this:

readonly someProcessingStateMachine = new StateMachine(this, "SomeProcessingStateMachine", {
    definition: JSON.parse(readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, "processing-state-machine-asl.json"), "utf-8").toString()),
    overrides: {
      "Fetch Some Details": {
        Parameters: {
          FunctionName: this.fetchSomeDetails.lambdaFunction.functionArn
        }
      },
      "Save Some Details": {
        Parameters: {
          FunctionName: this.saveSomeDetails.lambdaFunction.functionArn
        }
      }
    }
  });

Here are a few in my repos. They are simple but my production workflows are using the same setup with more complicated machines. I've abandoned using ASL in favor of using the CDK Constructs. I love it

Hope this helps
