I think the takeaway is to maintain your own database of references to objects if you can.

S3 isn't really built for lots of small objects, which is also quite tellingly reflected in its pricing (and performance in dealing with those).

Right now, anything less than 400KB should really be plonked into its cousin, DynamoDB.

Other than that, I fully expect AWS to announce a new S3 bucket type (and pricing) for high-volume, small-size blobs. There is also a small matter of addressing Cloudflare R2, which should result in a Lighsail-EC2-esque fork of S3.
