If you're building an MVP as per #3 then you don't have the issues cited in #1. What I like about serverless for a startup is you've offloaded part time jobs that your product devs would have been doing causing them to be distracted from product dev work, and given that work to AWS.

Also, if you have a monolith currently and don't have scalability problems, then you could keep it and build features to acquire users so you actually develop a scalability problem. If you're in a race against time and money and you have investors, your investors don't care about your awesome scalable engineering. They care that you have users.
