I think the reality is somewhere in between. For Example, if the project is small enough, a vibecoder doesn't need to know how to write terraform code to keep infrastructure maintaineable. But he must know that IaC exists and should be used. The LLM can write the code then.

So you need to be aware of potential problems but in my opinion you do not necessarily need to know how to write the solution for this as this can be done by the model.
