The problem is a bit what everyone understands as s3. I associate this indeed also with an http endpoint on object storage. But the ceph plugin skips this http and talks directly to object store. I don't think you would like to operate on this http level. If I look at this page of ceph[1], it also looks like you do not want to get yourself involved in deduplication.
