Doesn't the aws auto-scaling approach only work if there is one type of microservice per instance? What if I want to add a couple more instances of a service into an existing instance that is not running at capacity?

Auto-scaling is based on instances, yes. If you are using AWS, you normally saturate a given instance before scaling up; back-filling isn't in the cards, because if you leave that capacity on the table, you're wasting money.
