I understand the difficulty with large file uploads, but it's outside the scope of this module for now. The aws-s3-multipart plugin is a client-to-storage setup which circumvents Drupal managed files and thus entity reference fields. Yes, there are probably workaround to inform Drupal about those type of files, but they are going to be heavy and difficult to maintain. At the moment the goal is to provide a framework for JavaScript based uploaders using readily available Drupal fields and widgets.
In the meantime, you could use https://www.drupal.org/project/s3fs → with this modules default XHR upload method. I know it doesn't solve multipart, but it does allow for an out of the box traditional client-to-server-to-storage setup without additional Uppy plugins. A release for this module should be available within the next couple days.
Eventually, TUS uploads will be implemented. However, https://www.drupal.org/project/tus → is going to need some attention and a stable release before that happens. It would solve a lot of the headaches with large file uploads using the XHR upload method.
