I prototyped something like this for fun a long time ago. Treating s3 like a bucket of blocks seemed intuitive way build a scalable filesystem. Arguably ceph and luster are doing something similar except with a seperate metadata servers to serve the hotter content.

I think the critical thing you will need to explain is durability and loss window. Making some guarentees on failure modes would go a long way towards making me believe i can run operations on something like this.

With AI you should be able to do some exhaustive testing both for load, power loss, server loss, etc. Anxious to see the potential results
