- If your instance health checks are too stringent, it can become frustrating to try and get your application back in the healthy state. Consider a scenario where your health check page (e.g. /health) pings a non-essential cache database. If your cache database goes offline, EB will treat your application as unhealthy. I recommend keeping the health check page very simple, and setting up separate alarms for other services.

Cloudposse has modules that make beanstalk quite manageable with Terraform: https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-elastic-beanstal...
"Hard to attract talent": I'm skeptical this is an issue in most cases. After all, EB exists so that you don't have to think too much about the infra. For simple use cases, a general understanding of the infra components (not EB-specific) will go a long way. However I can understand talent/developer time could be an issue you're doing something really fancy with EB, such as making heavy use of EB extensions.
"Not the future": This sounds like another way of saying "it's not trendy". Whilst I agree, this point doesn't weigh heavily for me, as I'd try to focus on doing what's right for the application and the team.

I spent a month trying to get Elastic Beanstalk to work elegantly and it was still a slog understanding failed deploys and managing the nuances of networking and the headache of waiting for the system to get to a manageable state.
We ended up switching to https://render.com and I got everything I needed spun up in 3 days. You don’t have the same access to underlying resources in AWS but you get everything EB is supposed to do but faster and more user-friendly. It is much more actively maintained than Heroku’s current zombie state.
