Very late reply to this, but why not to use Azure Files premium? With the cost blowout described it will make total sense both performance and cost-wise.

I don't use Azure files for profiles, but I think Philip got the point. You would probably better off paying for premium if you got a lot of users.
If you want to compare with a completly different use case as a pricing perspective. A backup to a blob storage would be $0,0704CAD Write and $0,0057CAD Read. (x15 pricing cost for read operations standard blob vs azure files).

I think it is on a higher side, but the point is even with 10 users 10GB profile each you already on the minimum size of Azure Files premium. As per the performance, we have clear guidelines on the IOPS required for FsLogix profile containers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/example-scenario/wvd/windows-virtual-desktop-fslogix#performance-requirements
Azure Files premium makes it easy to fulfill these requirements with no additional cost for transactions.
