Having billing alerts is the bare minimum I'd expect someone half-competent relying on pay-per-use resources to set up.

Hard stop on spending would delete all your data and would not cover things which are billed e.g. monthly. There are AWS budget actions which address some of the issues (e.g. can put a hard deny on any actions or stop your EC2 instances), admittedly a relatively new service.
