What kind of things would you use this to simulate ?
Is this to make sure services are wired up with permission and communicate properly before you deploy or what is the use case ?
Also, why not have a dev environment where you can test things on the real thing (ideally with smaller size instances to save $)
Intergration testing is one. You can run this in your ci/locally to speed up tests. Or just for local dev. We do this with localstack[1]

Looks cool! Now add (simulated) billing. ;)
Easy... $<INSERT_VERY_LARGE_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE>
Another SQS stand-in is smoothmq
