A cluster wont go down because of that. I dont work for AWS :-) and dont want to convince you of anything. But there is a reason why they developed Aurora, and DynamoDB and it was not because some software developer had hours to waste...

They developed those to make a shit ton of money, and on that front, they succeeded.
