The issues you had with dedicated servers are easy to fix:
Traffic Spikes: Implement caching (most spikes are read-only). Implement queueing of expensive but less essential operations, so they can be delayed during traffic spikes. Make sure your CPU & RAM are 1.5 - 2x what you need. (Don't worry, it will still be cheaper than AWS)
Plain Old Downtime: Network outages happen with cloud hosts too.
Focus on development: Cloud servers are unmanaged too.
OS Updates & Security: This is no more an issue on dedicated servers than it is on cloud servers. It's an OS issue. Were you running Windows Servers. That's the problem!
