Yes. Amazon's typical approach for AWS products is to MVP them, and iterate functionality. This often means that early services work very well for a handful of use cases. If your case deviates slightly in requirements, you will be better off in the short term running it yourself--assuming you can't change requirements. In my experience, the AWS teams are very responsive to feedback and work pretty hard to add functionality to their mvp services.
