Not GP but I can give you my experience. SES seems to be a "good enough" solution if you use their API. There are a lot of missing features, such as logging anything other than metadata, which makes it not so useful if you are operating in a regulated industry.
The real problems come when you try to use the SMTP gateway. It's quite slow and unreliable and doesn't really work for parallel workloads. The only way to somewhat mitigate it is to deploy a postfix into EC2 and then queue your emails there.

I would normally have wanted to use the SMTP gateway as a more portable API, to avoid tying things to Amazon-specific APIs. But it sounds like doing so would add substantial fragility.
