Its slow, large, excessively complex and not that resilient to failure.
You either want a bunch of NFS machines backed on to ZFS on nvme, with a central jumping off point that allows sharding (this is critical to allow one or more NFS server to fuck up and not kill access to everything else.)
Whats right with it?

Or, pay the money and use GPFS
As someone who's in charge of close to an exabyte on Ceph, I couldn't disagree with you more.
Done correctly, Ceph is extremely reliable, resilient, and fast. Once you get over the initial learning curve, dare I say, even a joy to work with.
I concur, even though I have only used it as a hobbyist.
