Your comment about Git LFS is intriguing. I have been put off from using git lfs because of the perception I needed a separate server to backup the binary files. I had heard of tools like lfs-folderstore (1). That no longer seems maintained and seems to be an extra service. Did git lfs integrate the lfs-folderstore ideas so it doesn't need them?

My impression is that most Git LFS users trust the SLAs of their cloud hosts for git (and thus git LFS), the SLAs of whatever their large blob backplane is (S3 or R2 or one of the OpenStack S3 clones or whatever) plus the IAM dance to use it, and/or use the usual S3/R2/OpenStack backup tools.
