Your company "saves" over 100k/month paying WAY too much for EKS, which is extremely expensive.

If you're at any decent scale (looks like you are), then switch to GKE, or switch to on-prem and buy some hardware + a Kubernetes distro like Mirantis/Openshift/Tanzu.

Heck, go run k3s on Hetzner and you won't have that much more work, but save literally millions at the scale you're talking about.

The moment Hetzner starts providing managed DBs or managed kubernetes, they will wipe the floor with all the big 3...

EKS is $0.10/hour, how is that "extremely expensive"? Or are you referring to an adjacent service?
