The removal has been applied:
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed, 1 forgotten.
`tofu state list` now returns no Proxmox resources at all, and a full plan with
refresh enabled produces no Proxmox errors — the "no route to host" against
10.2.40.201:8006 that failed every infrastructure plan since the conversion is
gone.
The block was always one-shot. Left in place it refers to a state entry that no
longer exists, which is harmless but misleading: it reads as pending work.
Worth recording for the next time this shape comes up, because it cost a failed
merge to learn. A `removed` block alone does not fix an unreachable provider:
OpenTofu still refreshes the resource before it can forget it, and that refresh
is exactly what cannot succeed. It takes one run with `-refresh=false` to
process. `-target` does not help — targeting does not reach `removed` blocks, so
a targeted plan reports "No changes" while the state entry sits there untouched.
