To me this is a very common practice. At least in my experience a lot of AWS processing are done with S3 throughout the pipeline, whether you run EMR or run simple workflow. You can also create API/temp credential per user in your app allows the user to upload things to "storage" (but in this case S3) and process from there.

And with Lambda based on S3 events, you can run stuff automatically on that as well. However, if you want your uploaders to get feedback on their uploads immediately and/or synchronously, you need to upload to app servers.
