ive basically done this, myself some time ago.
quite a few places on the web are cut off but i make do fine without them. the problem with AWS is the infiltration into the backbone that has been progressing. the whole cloud thing was exactly what i did not want to participate in, it was just 3rd party hosting in a fancy zoot suit looking me right in the face. ive been selfhosting for sometime, and had little need for a machine in the middle except to make normal hops from node to node.
i guess ya could call it fossil net, its the way ive done it since the 70's and its never given me any grief.
