You shouldn’t need root, you should have another person with admin rights as a backup plan.
It is a vm so if you do something that would break sudo or all your users you should have a vm snapshot at your fingertips ready to restore from AWS interface.
Even if you are running bare metal you should setup snapshots first but nowadays no one runs bare metal web servers it is still som hyper visor with bunch of vm-s that are easy to backup restore or just delete and create fresh.

I'm not outsourcing that to a friend. That trust model is much more flawed than separation of duties and permissions segmentation as part of my administration routine.
