    New Proxmox Cluster with Ceph

    This is okay setup for me, usually we don't have more than 4xdisks per one nvme for caching . If you need more than that we usually recommend adding more nvme caching drives. Yes, if this nvme dies, all osds which are cached on it die, but this is acceptable in CEPH.

    Project: Fileserver on Proxmox

    I'll answer some misconceptions from Johannes, and give some recommendations: 1) CEPH demands 3+ nodes, with more than 100tb data i would recommend probably 5-7-9 nodes. So out of your scope. 2) Clustering doesnt add complexity since it is already included, and adding quorom nodes is just fine...
