Yes, I do the same. For service roles I just use the PowerUser managed role. I don’t see the need to put access control on Amazon’s ability to call it’s own services. I only restrict my EC2 instance profile, since that’s a bit more vulnerable, and I tend to know very precisely what it should have access to.
What if you have a lambda with a full admin role that is not sanitizing its inputs? Or maybe it's using an outdated file parsing library (csv/yaml) with a vulnerability. Now your entire AWS account could potentially be compromised.
