Part of what drove us to EFS alternatives was that the automation I was writing was meant to cover deploying a DevOps tool-chain solution (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.) into both regular AWS commercial and regions where EFS wasn't even available (nor the more-recent, managed-Lustre offering).
Artifact of that was seeing markedly improved responsiveness (particularly in GitLab). When back-testing in a commercial region, we had to pre-allocate a significantly-larger chunk of EFS To get similar performance to a small Gluster cluster.
Never had the time to do a full "cost vs. responsiveness" test. Would have been interesting, but, until the GovCloud region(s) support EFS, would mostly have been an academic, rather than practical, effort.
