What do you think about defining a retention period for the GCS bucket? This way, no one can accidentally delete files in the remote storage. Would DVC still work then? After all, files in the bucket can no longer be modified either, right?

Yes, and it’s a good practice to my mind - making DVC storage essentially immutable, append only. Yes, DVC will be working in this configuration.
