I am planning to move on AWS using route 53 and some programming.

Also considering cloudflare as well.

To all the responders here, can you list out the reasons on not moving to Route 53?

I put my DNS on Route53 since it makes things like cert management and record creation (via CDK) a breeze but I keep my domains on a different registrar (Namecheap, not a vote for or against them, just who I’ve used for a long time). Mainly to not have all my eggs in one basket though all but 1 egg doesn’t really save you. At a minimum I could switch the DNS to a static page explaining downtime if something happened to AWS/my account.
