I've been using Bicep on several projects for about a year now. Sometimes Bicep is better over tf (especially on projects with pure Azure infrastructure, fresh projects with need to roll out landing zones etc..) and sometimes tf-bicep mix works well as well. :D

There is also Microsoft's vision on this: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dev...

And to have sort of similarity with tf you can use complete mode (--mode Complete flag for deployment command) which eventually tells Resource Manager to delete resources that exist in the resource group but aren't specified in the template. This only works for RG target scope (and not for tenant, mg, sub..).

Thanks.
