Sia, Storj, Ipfs all is on table, each has pros and cons, but we ultimately want best user experience... so in-depth testing should be done before real migration to those.
Sia Skynet. It's a new feature using nginx and a image pinning mechanism. I am looking into the prospect of an incentivized Skynet network using a host whitelist.
Right now the renter pays to host images. I imagined an architecture could be developed to incentive people to run esteem image Skynet nodes for ESTM.
Completely agree with that path. Would be curious to see comparisons, if you are whiling to share that info.
I have used SIA lib very mildly... and I used the previous Storj version... not yet the new one that I am testing serving and wanting to test a private network for research reasons with where I work for. IPFS might have like you said other advantages but not at the scope I am looking for...

The SiaCoin repo itself is on gitlab.
That combined with a nginx caching method could possibly make a very low cost alternatively be to centralized cloud image providers.

Nice to see new options being tested...
