Direct answer: is the HP ScanJet Pro 3000 s4 Sheet-Feed Document Scanner right for you?
A dedicated sheetfed scanner exists because an MFP feeder is designed for occasional copying -- this one is rated for 4,000 sheets a day, roughly an order of magnitude beyond what a printer feeder tolerates.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: A dedicated sheetfed scanner exists because an MFP feeder is designed for occasional copying -- this one is rated for 4,000 sheets a day, roughly an order of magnitude beyond what a printer feeder tolerates. Single-pass duplex means both sides are captured in one pass rather than by reversing the sheet, which is why 40 ppm becomes 80 images per minute rather than staying at 40. It has no flatbed, so bound documents, passports and anything not a loose sheet cannot be scanned on it at all.
Who should buy this
Offices digitising records in bulk, where feeder reliability decides the throughput.
Who should avoid this
Anyone scanning books, passports or fragile originals, which need a flatbed.

Good, with one thing to plan for
Rated 4,000 sheets a day, far beyond an MFP feeder. The one thing to know before ordering: No flatbed — loose sheets only. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

After a few months
Had this six weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Single-pass duplex captures 80 images per minute. Still mildly irritated by one thing: No flatbed — loose sheets only. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Right product for the right person
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Offices digitising records in bulk, where feeder reliability decides the throughput. On that basis it has been the right call. Rated 4,000 sheets a day, far beyond an MFP feeder.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone scanning books, passports or fragile originals, which need a flatbed. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
Rated 4,000 sheets a day, far beyond an MFP feeder. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Single-pass duplex captures 80 images per minute. Nothing has surprised me in about a month.
