I'd argue that switching kernels is pretty easy. At least for us, there's a lot less QA to switch kernels than Docker versions. The more often you upgrade, the easier it is to upgrade, as with almost all things. We also have a team that does work processing that's built a PID controller to autoscale ASGs based on queue depth, and time in queue. Although, their code is not open source, the concept is a self-tuning autoscaler based on a number of variables allowing you to prioritize cost, timeliness, or even throughput. We've been doing this for a while. If you'd like to collaborate at all, let me know.
