Nice write up. I did something similar at a company recently. The ransomware use case was the primary driver. AWS Backup felt kind of half baked. It also took a lot of work to ensure we could bring the apps up in the recovery account smoothly. Trying to retrofit this into existing stacks was kind of a pain.
There is a YC company called Arpio [0] that does this sort of thing as a service. It can replicate a ton of stuff beyond what Backup does (it also uses Backup for certain things from what I remember). It works as advertised and for most companies is probably worth it vs doing this yourself. I am not affiliated, just worked with it at a customer.
