The difference is in the number blend parameters sliders you can control.

With blend sequence, you have access to a single slider and can only interpolate one input to the next input.
So let's say you have 5 inputs, a blend of 0.5 will get you 50% of input1 and 50% of input2, and a blend of 1.5 will get you 50% of input2 and 50% of input3.

With blend shapes, you can blend all the inputs together at the same time.
You can get 25% of input1, 25% of input2, 0% of input3, 25% of input4 and 25% of input5.

So, blend sequence behavior could be achieved with the blend shapes node, but you would have to write expressions in the blend weights parameters yourself.
