Previously I forgot to add the bits to pass AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY secret through - as mastodon can't natively read AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_FILE it needs to be included using the file_env technique.

This is similar to how it is in the hometown recipe, and if you don't have AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_FILE it won't cause an error (tried it locally).

I've chaos deployed it to bath.social and it fixed my issue. The symptom was that it seemed to be working, but I looked up an external users profile and it gave a 500 error with this message in the log:

Ah yeah, I hadn't noticed the official maintainer bit. Maybe we should also both add ourselves to that list? I'll do it if you do... (is there some process there?).
