I would argue that this is a poor trade-off. Servers are generally cheap for most projects while labor is expensive.

When using percentages you always have to ask 70% of what?

This has been my experience. Serverless is frustrating beyond belief. I haven’t deployed to production yet so maybe we’ll realize benefits enough to warrant the frustration at that time but so far I have serious doubts.
You can fire at least half of the labor after launch and maintenance can be done by fewer people or ad-hoc contractors.
This might fly in some niche software product, but for anyone who wants to run a permanent software business this is a recipe for disaster.
