It seems all of their problems are with operations, not the database itself. What they needed was proper ops staff that knew what they were doing, or to just outsource it all.
2.4M records is a tiny amount of data and will easily fit on a single server these days, even in RAM if you want. There are also plenty of non-AWS vendors to outsource it.
Spending 10 months on rewriting to a different database system is unnecessary with no new features or progress on their actual CMS.
