No need to drop the lock, since the block ends anyway, right?

Also this should be done in a tokio::spawn_blocking, if I'm not mistaken?
(the try_block! is only a convenience wrapper that wraps the block in a function,
it doesn't spawn the block on the blocking thread pool)

Same thing here.

In general, I think the s3_refresh function is a good candidate to be broken up into multiple smaller functions
  - setting/unsetting maintenance mode
  - creating the new temporary dir
  - retrieving the objects from S3
  - replacing the old contents
  - etc.
