Apologies for the wild goose chase, you are, expectedly, correct.
I had seen the boto/S3 sections in the man page, however I never connected the dots that between the boto -> boto3 transition, the hostname of the s3 url was deprecated in favor of specifying only the bucket name.
I merely transitioned my bucket URL from s3://s3.amazonaws.com/$bucket to boto3+s3://s3.amazonaws.com/$bucket , but boto3+s3://$bucket is in fact the correct syntax.
