This sentence is doing a lot of work: "Hypothetical S2 does a bit more to simplify the layers above – it makes leadership above the log convenient with leases and fenced writes."
It'd be awesome to have a bit more transactional help from S3. You could go a long way with 'only update this object if the ETags on these other objects are still the same'. I know AWS doesn't want to turn S3 into a full database but some updates you just can't do without having a whole 2nd service running alongside to keep track of the states of your updates.
