I think it would be good to ensure the
interface is robust and performant enough to actually replace the current
object store interface (even if we don't actually do that just yet).

I agree that it should be robust and performant, but I don't think it
needs to be as performant in all cases as the current object store
right now.

That sounds like starting from a defeatest position.  Is there a
reason why you think using an external interface could never perform
well enough to be usable in everyday work?
