What's the latency between sending a metric and being able to query it when using object storage (s3) instead of block storage?
How do the transfer/retrieval (GET/PUT) costs factor in as well?

Mimir employes write deamplification: it doesn't write immediately to the object storage but keeps most recently written data in-memory and/or local disk.
Mimir also employes several shared caches (supports Memcached) to reduce object storage (S3) access as much as possible.
