I'm a deep Postgres person and I'm very interested in the project. Congratulations and welcome as a new open source project to the ecosystem.

One important recommendation: please do not run benchmarks on variable-performance storage (gp2 in this case), as it obviously may yield different performance depending on the credit situation, potentially delivering more or less performance to different benchmark runs / scenarios.

Specifically, for 500GB you get the max throughput (250MB/s, which BTW is pretty low for an OLAP-style bench, in my opinion) but only 1.5K IOPS. See [1] for more information.

An easy alternative would have been gp3 volumes, which do not burst performance, and can be set to provide 16K IOPS and 1Gbps.
