Hundreds of meters is considered short range in the world of *SFP. If you just plan on putting the GPUs in the same rack then I'm not sure it really matters, but you can really put anything anywhere in your DC and have things zoned with *SFP.

I don't think there is any reason TB couldn't do the same, beyond it would be even more niche to want non-modular/patchable cables+transceivers at those lengths (especially since fiber is often bundled dozens/hundreds of strands over a single trunk cable between racks).
