I really like the idea. We are always in discussion about offline testing but it turned out with proper unit testing and deployments to a development stage in api gateway, lambda aliases and resources prefixes is much faster then always fixing offline testing issues. Each developer can now easily deploy their own stack and run integration test on the full application. But this only works out if you have a well designed code structure where you can test everything with unit testing before. But still we rely sometimes on local dynamo docker images to be faster when you try something new
