cdk synth on original repro-jsii fails, saying:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

if you provide the missing scope and id arguments by:

                state_machine=aws_stepfunctions.StateMachine.from_state_machine_arn(self, "mysf", "SF_ARN"),

you get the following error:

[RomainMuller]

Well... @aws-cdk/pipelines.Step does not implement constructs.Construct so it cannot be used as a scope... So this error is completely accurate, and you need to use something that is a construct as the state machine's scope...
