Neil, can I ask what kind of stuff you need the filesystem for? I too thought this would be a show stopper, but after a few months of just using S3 I can honestly say I don't want to go back to the filesystem.
I'm not doing anything crazy, importing some big CSV's, generating and saving some big PDF's. I had to change my approach to these, but in the end I think it was worth it.
