As a Windows administrator, 30GB is extremely small and I personally wouldnt spin a windows server up without les than 80GB. Windows updates and the paging file can cause diskspace usage to increase straight after deploying a server.
Be aware that 32 GB should be considered an absolute minimum value for successful installation. This minimum should allow you to install Windows Server 2022 or later using the Server Core installation option with the Web Services (IIS) server role. A server in Server Core mode is ~4 GB smaller than the same server using the Server with Desktop Experience installation option.

Does that mean we shouldn't rely on disk space specified by the AMIs ?
These are just AMIs. These are machine images and the disk that comes with them is the absolute minimum to build and launch the image. For each machine you launch you should always build the virtual machine to your requirements. If your happy with 30GB thats fine, but you will become stuck very quickly.
