EFS can scale to levels beyond what EBS is capable. EFS is replicated across multiple AZs. EFS supports multiple clientes, as opposed to one on EBS.

EFS can scale to a "whopping" 5x the aggregate throughput of a single gp3 EBS volume (5GB/sec EFS vs. 1GB/sec gp3). It requires at least 10 clients to reach that aggregate throughput. It barely beats a single io2 Block Express EBS volume (5GB/sec EFS vs. 4GB/sec io2 BE), and the io2 Block Express volume can do it with a single client. Reaching that 5GB/sec with EFS costs $30,000/month for either 100TB of data or 5GB/sec in provisioned bandwidth. Good luck!
