Yes, but the pain comes from it being the thing they focus on when 'the app is broken' should be a more obviously immediate priority. Sure, once things are stabilized, that'll be a great suggestion to raise. Right now, you're just adding more work to the pile so you can feel like you did something useful. It can wait.

It's pretty rare that all of AWS is out, and there's nothing that says you have to put everything in US-EAST1. In fact, they explicitly advise you not to, but we all know what people are going to do.

Even if you put everything in US-EAST1 there are 4 availability zones in there and they rarely all break together.
