Can't imagine why they'd be hesitant, Helix is awesome, we've never had any data loss issues, and are completely ACID. I'd encourage them to start a local instance with claude/codex to build a mini project and see what it's like.

Does it work only on S3?

No, you can run it in-memory or on-disk too
