Paperclip was deprecated in May 2018: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/closing-the-trombone. Rails ActiveStorage can be used instead, which also has an AWS S3 backend.

Example article that describes a large-scale migration: https://medium.com/sortlist-engineering/migrating-from-paperclip-to-activestorage-a-different-approach-4bffa2260e17.

May be less relevant in light of #575. Seems like it would still eventually be good to move to ActiveStorage, but the immediate need is avoided for now.
