You say cloud allows massive expansion like it's a negative but it can be boon for a pre-pmf startup or a scaleup. You simply don't have to worry much about capacity planning in cloud and that can be a huge time/effort saver.
Sure, if you're only growing <30% YoY and already paying several millions for cloud and bandwidth/storage are large fraction of that, by staying in cloud you're proving your incompetence as an engineering org.
