What I'm really missing in this space is something like this for content addressed blob storage.

I feel like a lot of complexity and performance overhead could be reduced if you only store immutable blobs under their hash (e.g Blake3). Combined with a soft delete this would make all operations idempotent, blobs trivially cacheable, and all state a CRDT/monotonically mergeable/coordination free.

There is stuff like IPFS in the large, but I want this for local deployments as a S3 replacement, when the metadata is stored elsewhere like git or a database.
