Heck even at three servers and a Pacemaker cluster (so you can do quorum) you're still doing it cheaper, and then you get some experience with HA platforms :-) (of course, that also takes more time to set up and admin)
Also, with unlimited bandwidth, you don't need to worry about "oops, my backups failed and ran in a loop / someone DoSed me / I got redditted / someone pointed their Docker at an image I host for their entire cluster" and suddenly you have a $1k bill.
I have both a dedicated server and cloud instances, i will NEVER use my cloud instances for storage
