But will that generate new host keys? I definitely don't want that.

I've managed to get several more servers back to connectable using
Puppet, which was pre-installed, and AWS Systems Manager, which was on
a few of them. Using those I reached in through their porthole and set
correct host key permissions. Now SSH works to them. I'm down to 16
that still need fixing. These last 16 might need the stop/mount the
volume elsewhere/tweak/start.
