They stand the same chance, just setup dkim and spf as any of the hundred guides will tell you how to.
Debate it on vendor lock in, reliability and out sourcing sysops, not on having to maybe manually set up some DNS records.

By all reports of people who have set up their own mail server lately, just having SPF and DKIM set up still won’t cut it for delivery to the major mail providers these days.

I run my own email server, with no spam filter, and inspect where every spam comes from. I get a lot of spam from random shitty providers, but none from major VPS providers (Scaleway, Hetzner, Linode, Digital Ocean, ...) with the exception of OVH.
I do however get spam from Amazon SES a couple of times a month.

The emails sent from my $5 VPS arrives in Gmail's priority box :)
Also, it is incredibly easy to ask AWS support to increase the limit. A startup I worked with had only thousands of users; we told AWS about it and they gave us 5 million emails per 24 hours.
