This is akin to "hoping" that there would be renaissance of of VPS/Dedicated hosting.

I'd say there has been a renaissance of of VPS hosting, with DigitalOcean/Vultr and other providers offering a modernized UI, fast service, decent APIs, a few extra services, etc.

I've been using linode for everything for the last 10 years, AWS has always been something to look at.

There is value in the simplicity of just getting root on a Linux box and setting up from there yourself.

New employer has dedicated machines on site which definitely helps.

Once I give the main system a kick it will scream on a few year old Xeon.

I've seen far too many 'shove everything on AWS' approaches fail to undertake it lightly.

There has. Especially from people who have been burned by trying to run the traditional persistent application model on AWS and finding that costs increase rapidly when you want some performance.
