Vnodes are just like a lot of nodes. So no.

This becomes much more difficult/impossible with 256 virtual nodes per
hardware node.

No, but that's a design feature of vnodes, you repair fewer ranges per node
and the repair is spread among more nodes. May or may not be a win in

I'll let you know when I deploy vnodes and then write it, lol. :)

I don't know the answer, but are you sure you want to use
EC2MultiRegionSnitch?
