Same experience here. I cut over a whole bunch of instances to Graviton a while back and it "just worked" for a lot of our workloads. Test it first, obv.

Another easy cost-savings switch is telling Terraform to create EC2 root volumes using gp3 rather than gp2 (gp3 is ~10% cheaper and theoretically more performant). The AWS API and Terraform both still default to gp2 (last I checked), and I wonder how many places are paying a premium for it.
