Nope. Too much overhead for a solo developer or small team. One cloud provider already eats more time than we want to devote to ops.

And the purported benefits of multi-cloud setups are vague, handwavy, "maybe some time in the future" risk mitigation suggestions.

Since AWS won't be disappearing on short notice, we're not particularly concerned about having to pack up and go on short notice. Yeah, it'd be a lot of work, but why do that work up front AND incur ongoing double maintenance costs (in terms of time) on the < 2% chance that we'll decide we need to switch providers some time in the next decade?
