That wouldn't be a great reason to choose serverless indeed. However, that doesn't mean serverless isn't still the right choice.
We've tried both the traditional approach you describe and serverless, and from experience the latter is 10x less infrastructure code than the former (we compared both Terraform implementations).
If serverless fits your use case, saving time and effort is a very good reason to go for it IMHO.
