botor is an R wrapper to boto3, with some nice helper functions for s3, specifically:
s3_read - equivalent to s3tools::read_using()
s3_write - a counterpart to s3_read, which doesn't have an exact s3tools analogue (which is definitely missing)
s3_list_buckets.
That covers all that s3tools is needed for, and works out of the gate as it does standard aws cred magic. I'd therefore suggest that s3tools gets deprecated altogether and the guidance is updated to have a conversion guide to the equivalent botor functions. An alternative would be to make s3tools use botor under the hood, but that would add an unnecessary maintenance burden for very little gain.
