Does anyone have experience with say Linode and Digital Ocean performance versus AWS and GCE?

They still use VMs, but as far as I know they have simple reserved instances, not “cloud”-like weather?

Is the performance better and more predictable on large VPSes?

(edit: I guess a big difference is that VPS can have local NVMe that is persistent, whrereas EC2 local disk is ephemeral? )
