Oh I get that for sure. My real recommendation was for the elk-stack in general. One can self-host it pretty easily depending skillsets. The service I recommended just makes it about as easy as your email aggregator.

The email aggregator is great but if you need an actual way to search through your logs, maybe after the email aggregator alerts you that "some requests failed" doing it in cloudwatch is not so fun.
