Like all things, it depends. Your application architecture complexity is going to go way up, but your devops / sysadmin complexity goes to zero. I run a web hosting service, and while my application code is a bit more complicated now, I don't have to worry about monitoring ec2 instances, process managers, and that's worth it. That particular trade of is worth it. If you manage an application with a high level of application logic, such that keeping servers alive is relatively simple, maybe the calculus works out differently.
