It seems that after some time went by the S3 compatible object storage OCI interface can now work with restic directly and not necessary to use rclone. Tests a few months ago this did not work.

Using S3 directly mean we may not have this issue we see when using restic + rclone:
rclone: 2018/11/02 20:04:16 ERROR : data/fa/fadbb4f1d9172a4ecb591ddf5677b0889c16a8b98e5e3329d63aa152e235602e: Didn't finish writing GET request (wrote 9086/15280 bytes): http2: stream closed

This shows how I setup restic to Oracle OCI object storage(no rclone required).
