No, your choice to use AWS Elastic Search is compounding all the other poor decisions you have already made (and admitted to). This is just another one of them. Petabyte scale ElastcSearch clusters are approaching edge case usage scenarios, and one most people would expect an average SAAS solution may not be optimized for.
You could have spun up - and managed - your own cluster on EC2 but instead decided to make bad decisions probably without any research or beta testing, got badly burned as a result, and are now trying to unload your sour grapes on to the interwebs.
