Support for S3 Express One Zone (directory buckets)?

Feature Description

Support S3 Express One Zone directory buckets as a replica destination. Are there any plans for this?

Use Cases

Latency-sensitive reads through the VFS. Opening a database and reading pages that aren't cached yet are sequential requests to S3, so request latency adds up. S3 Express One Zone advertises single-digit millisecond latency and lower per-request prices than S3 Standard. That would also help restores and frequent small LTX uploads.

Attempted Solutions

S3 Standard in the same region, with VFS hydration and the page cache enabled. This helps once a database is warm, but opens and cold reads still pay S3 Standard latency.

We haven't tried a directory bucket. From reading the S3 client, it probably doesn't work today: region lookup uses GetBucketLocation, which directory buckets don't support, and their ListObjectsV2 results aren't sorted by key.
