I don't think cloud providers would just change their SDK or APIs without notice. It will break anyone using their SDK, not only go-cloud.

For your second point, it's normal for small startups to shop around and pick the cloud provider that's more suitable for their needs. For example on my last job at a small startup, we switched from AWS to GCP for cost reasons, and I implemented an abstraction (similar to go-cloud's) between S3 and GCS because of that.

They never change over the course of say 3 years? 5 years? If it changes frequently that's great - someone could be put to task to monitor. If it changes very rarely, you will have a surprise outage although I am guessing debugging and fixing it would not be an issue unless you have SLAs you need to keep up with.

By "change" I mean "breaking change". Backward compatible changes doesn't matter in the original question.
