I wonder if Mountpoint for S3 along with this new Express option makes it a direct competitor to EFS for some use cases.

Looks like support for S3 Express was merged in with version 1.30 just a few hours ago https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/pull/642

I'm quite curious about this too - both from a cost and performance perspective. If S3 Express is close enough to EFS on these metrics, then I'd say it wins out due to the sheer ubiquity and portability of S3 these days.
