Fully agree, but I am not sure 200k month is high enough of a cost to start looking outside of Cloud. A Sr Engineer will probably be 300/400k per year and you need a few of those to do your own infra, 2.4m per year is not much of a budget to build a proper team with backups, 24/7 support, and then also paying for servers, networking, etc.. Now, if you can afford downtimes, fixing issues only during working hours, etc., you might have a case.
