Currently Terraform Enterprise is the only approach to solving that and its a good one but... only if you're one of the big guns and even those sometimes think twice because the infrastructure state requires much more security than that offers.

There is nothing stopping you from backing up state in s3 and git. Just have CICD to sync it up.

State really shouldn't have anything secret in it in the first place, so 3rd party having access to it shouldn't matter.

S3 compatible on-prem storage like minio might work for you
