CDK is managed IaC, allowing compile-time checks and also to debug your infrastructure.

CloudFormation is just JSON or YAML (treated as assembly by CDK, by spitting out a CFN template after synthesis)

This is not correct. CDK is not "managed IaC" - the management is done by CloudFormation. CDK is a generator for the JSON or YAML of CloudFormation, which is fully responsible for the execution and management of provisioning.

I stand corrected, thanks.
