I really like the idea of using R2, but it seems like theres no real protection against losing EVERYTHING should a write-enabled key get leaked? On S3, I would be able to set a versioned bucket and prevent deletions, for example.

What are others using R2 for? A "cached" version of your s3 buckets? Im assuming I could set up something like that with workers?

You don't even need to set it up by hand. Cache Reserve is the way to put Cloudflare's CDN with a persistent cache in front of your origin (which could be an S3 bucket). It's a 1 button config thing.

If you use Worker bindings, then there's no write-enabled keys. It's a fair critique obviously and the team is aware of some of the product gaps. We only just launched GA :).
