Proxmox 7 3-node homelab cluster--specific node-only storage?

[Uncle Lumpy]

I have three identical machines, each with the following hardware:
AMD Ryzen 3700x
64GB G.Skill RAM
2--500GB Kingston SSDs for ZFS Raid1 boot disks
2--1TB Kingston SSDs for "data disks"
1Gbit motherboard NIC
1Gbit addon NIC

Right now, I have Proxmox 7 installed with the "data disks" setup in a 6 OSD Ceph grouping across the three machines. However, while everything works, the 1Gbit networking is simply too slow (obviously) for this to be very effective. Given I don't see any 10Gbe networking in my immediate future, this is what I'd like to do:

Setup a 3-node cluster but have the "data disks" in each node be specific for that node only. I like the clustering because everything is visible on one page.

I tried to set this up with each of the 2 data disks being ZFS Raid1 specific to a particular node, but the clustering software seems to prevent this. Specifically, I'd like

pve1
--ZFS_storage1

pve2
--ZFS_storage2

pve3
--ZFS_storage3

but Proxmox wants to make it

pve1
--ZFS_storage1
--ZFS_storage2 (inactive)
--ZFS_storage3 (inactive)

pve2
--ZFS_storage1 (inactive)
--ZFS_storage2
--ZFS_storage3 (inactive)

pve3
--ZFS_storage1 (inactive)
--ZFS_storage2 (inactive)
--ZFS_storage3

Can anyone point me to a way to have node-specific storage in a Proxmox 7 cluster?

Thanks,
Kel

Additional information: the "inactive" storage devices seemed to cause problems with creating backups as well as with stopping containers. I got so frustrated that I never checked whether VMs were also affected.
