The Redis Object Cache plugin is worth a try. It’ll only take a minute to set up.
Is it 200k users or 200k page loads? Those are really different as each user will load multiple pages in a month.

Oh right, yeah, Wordpress does tend to use up an awful lot of storage - every image gets copied 5 or 6 times, in different sizes just incase you need that size. It’s nuts.
You don’t need to store those images in your server though, they can be uploaded to S3 (object storage) where it is 10x cheaper to store them and then you can have a cheaper VPS.

There are many providers of S3-compatible storage, you don’t need to use AWS. Cloudflare R2 is super cheap - https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/developer-platform/products/r2/ or Hetzner - https://www.hetzner.com/storage/object-storage/

This is heavily dependent on the VPS. Some of my VPSes are cheaper than object storage would be.

Yes, do the S3 integration before moving, for sure.
