Even if you 10x every year, going from year 1 to year 2 you switch from renting two 6-core servers to renting two 64 core servers, in year 3 you rent 20 servers, in year 4 you are renting a small room of racks in a colo space and add a server every other day (or you continue renting servers, if that's your style). Out of all the problems that arise from 10x-ing your organisation every year, this is a really minor one.
The fear.. I'll need 20 servers in 3 years.. the reality: A 4 dollar vps is powerful enough until you hit millions and millions of customers.

would prefer to spend 20-30-50 USD and get a managed deployment infrastructure with rollback, blue/green deployment, github integration and so. this setup can last a long time.

I'd pay good money if you could truly teach me how to do that for recurring costs within a factor of 2 from cheap rental vps/box.
There's a disconnect between founders and everyone else.
Founders believe they're going to >10x every year.
Reality is that they're 90% likely going to fail.
90% of the time - you're fine failing on whatever.
Some % of the 10% of the time you succeed you're still fine without the cloud - at least for several years of success, plenty of time to switch if ever necessary.
