ECS & Fargate is probably closer to the Heroku experience than Beanstalk is these days. You've got the same primitives you would with Heroku, in the form of Fargate tasks, being orchestrated by an ECS service. Its definitely more involved than just a git push, you'll have to deal with RDS for databases for example, and get credentials for that into your application. Having said that I think the extra effort needed for ECS is worth it, you end up paying less for the resources your consuming (in some cases significantly less), and you're sitting within AWS so integrating with other products they provide is a lot smoother.
