The challenge is the software which makes the Substack ecosystem so appealing. I don't know if there exists out-of-the-box software on Epik's hosts (Cloudflare) or if one would have to roll their own using Wordpress plugins or other methods, which can be cost-prohibitive, time-consuming, and lack the seamless user experience across multiple Substack authors and content.
In my opinion, Amazon won't ban Substack - it's a great product. However, they could pick and choose who/what is allowed to post on Substack - similar to social media sites.
Regardless, YouTube/Twitter/FB taught us to always backup our content, which is a good idea regardless of the registrar/hosts.
