If I understand correctly, AL2023 uses EPEL7, which is End of Life and should not be used in production systems as it's not maintained.

That would explain:

[1] No EPEL support in AL2023

Then:

[2] Epel should have the latest S3FS updates:

Not possible. As it's was EoL by the time s3fs-fuse 1.95 was released, I could no send this version. So EPEL7 will remain with 1.94 forever.

That said, see possible alternatives at https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/2496#issuecomment-2807286762 (in short, either building on your own, or using the package I provide there). In any case keep in mind s3fs-fuse 1.95 is the last version with support for CentOS7 and clones (meaning EPEL7 is the same).
