Somehow it feels like your association with BB is bias. BTW why doesn't BB have a entry level open solution???It's disappointing to see this kind of disagreement in the forumPlease be considerate.
The reality is that the requested functionality could indeed be valuable to some end users, particularly those with home labs. However, the costs associated with development, testing, maintenance, and ongoing support will outweigh any incremental revenue gains by many multiples.
Please understand that the PVE team is very thoughtful in prioritizing features that make the most sense for the platform. Given that they already have a cost-effective solution, I can't see this being a top priority. Most people paying for support need more enterprise features and reliability, not less...

Because the absolute minimum is not worth a recommendation.
My thoughts about it: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/
But it doesn't.... Ceph demands high performance hardware all around. I.E. 10gbe SAN, nvme drives, higher performance CPU that can handle both compute and higher communications demands.
I appreciate the DESIRE for a storage solution that is fast, highly available, and "entry level" (which I just read as cheap or free)
What you dont seem to be grasping is that the COST of fast and highly available is incompatible with the last requirement, but since you seem to believe you can already do it yourself, why arent you offering your solution commercially?
Lets put it differently. I assume you have some method of making a living, and you charge money for it. What would you say to a prospective customer who asks you why you dont charge less (or fo it for free?)

But people just don't understand that you can have that with CEPH, just try with any enterprise disks and you will see. Yes, for 25node, petabyte cluster you will need all jtreblay says, but for entry level, just plain 10g, with enterprise disks will suffice.
I have a customer, 2.5g, samsung ssds, and ryzen cpus. Started with 3 nodes, now at four. Cluster works great for a combination of ct,vms and one or two window servers. And this is it.
And i've worked as a consultant for more than 10 firms last year, so this is from pure example.
