We ran into the same issue and we had to use API gateway to rewrite urls. but it had the added benefit of handling CORS there and the preflight requests never hits the application servers. Additionally preflight requests are cached at cloudfront and at browser with "Access-Control-Max-Age" and for the first request we do pre connect during the main domain load so the users never notice the small latency it may have. I agree that AWS products are all over the place.

"AWS products are all over the place." It's the customers. They run into issues using something against all advice in the docs and then request features and services or AWS sees all the clamor around a perceived issue and they create a "solution." Developers are really averse to reading and understanding documentation. It's why they all jumped on the cloud. But it turns out it isn't all just magical infinite performance. Is your lambda awake?
