I did a similar move from AWS RDS to Google Cloud SQL (for MySQL) at my previous workplace. Although the instance cost was cheaper (~30% less), the support was awful. We had a few issues with network bandwidth, query optimizer settings, size of database reported on console vs that shown in the DB itself. This was 3 years ago, so hopefully they have improved.
3 years ago CloudSQL was freshly out of Alpha into Beta. it shure did improve and change a lot.
Beta products in Google cloud are always a bit rough. Don't use the official support there. Use the official GCP Slack and ask in the corresponding channel, usually there are always some PO's of google around to help or give advice whom to contact. This is way better than the support, especially on Alpha & Beta implementations. Also a good way to get into Alphas.

Hey Mario could you post a link to the official GCP Slack? I can't seem to find it on the GCP support pages.
