Is there any reason to not use R2 over a competing storage service? I already use Cloudflare for lots of other things, and don't personally care all that much about the "Cloudflare's near-monopoly as a web intermediary is dangerous" arguments or anything like that.

R2 doesn't support versioning yet. If you need versioning you have to use DigitalOcean Spaces (also cheaper than S3) or S3.

Otherwise, I've been using R2 now in production for wakatime.com for almost a month now with Sippy enabled. The latency and error rates are the same as S3, with DigitalOcean having slightly higher latency and error rates.
