Came here to comment this, there's a ton of awesome stuff around Postgres that using RDS makes impossible. Kinda stinks, but I don't have the time/expertise to manage a Postgres Instance on EC2.

If you have kubernetes experience, running a cluster using a pre-built helm chart (like pgo) takes away a ton of the pain by bundling needed services together and giving you easy upgrade paths, high availability, backups, etc.
I agree.

If the extension availability is the main concern, I'd recommend the open source StackGres [1] operator, which has, possibly, the largest Postgres extension catalog [2] available.
