AWS WAF would trigger a false SQL injection attack if the URL contains two "+" chars and the word "and". Or if you have a cookie with JSON in it would trigger the XSS attack rule.
Highly recommend setting up WAF logs to output some logs aggression tool (e.g Splunk) and create reports, dashboard, and alerts about WAF trigger rules & request HTTP code over a span to time and see what is going on with your requests and how WAF is evaluating the requests.
1% of WAF blocks were real attacks, my experience is with a site that had 25 million unique visitors a month (no user content). i'm not saying you shouldn't have WAF, i'm saying nothing beats good visibitily into WAF to correct it behavior over time.
There are few options on AWS marketplace such as Fortinet and F5 WAF rules. Fortinet is the better of the 2 and newer.
