Does Amazon's Route 53 count as a DNS provider, or do you treat it a hosting provider?

For me - neither.

But if I'd be tied in into Amazon's cloud infrastructure, I would have to use many of their features going against my rules above.

How do you apply your rules considering what's available today? Which services are you using? It sounds like it would be a big headache to orchestrate the automation among all these different providers.
