No issues noticed. EC2 [0][1] instances are the lowest level (or basis/basic level) technologies in the AWS stack. High Availability/Disaster Recovery/Fail Over (HA/DR/FO) is not something you buy in AWS; it's something that is configured (relatively easily). Something like Cloud Formation [2], Elastic Beanstalk [3], Troposphere [4], Terraform can do the more intelligent scaling & failure recovery that you're describing/expecting. Really, those things are scripting/specification technologies layered on top of EC2, S3, AMI, EBS, ELB.
If you need help setting up a HA/DR/FO config, let me know. At work we support dozens of public web apps and sites on AWS.
