Has anyone figured out how to configure terraform remote state to work with spaces by using its s3 driver. I have got other things that use s3 to work with spaces but have failed with terraform so far

Does it support state file locking? AWS supports locking using dynamodb table.
A future release of terraform should support using other s3 compatible backends like Spaces but none of the currently available versions(v0.10.7 is the current latest) will work.
I was able to configure terraform to store remote state in Spaces by building terraform from source and using the config
terraform {
backend "s3" {
bucket = "tfstate-bucket"
key = "path/terraform.tfstate"
region = "us-east-1"
endpoint = "https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com"
access_key = "redacted"
secret_key = "redacted"
skip_credentials_validation = true
skip_get_ec2_platforms = true
skip_requesting_account_id = true
skip_metadata_api_check = true
}
}
Note the region key is set to a known s3 region. Attempting to use an unknown region still causes terraform to complain
