Oh it probably is prod ready, I just wouldn't use it unless I had to (ie I had the staff to look after it and no money to buy something better)

whether is a good fit for general purpose storage of stuff at a small scale is harder question. Its not easy to get good performance at small scale, and to get good performance requires a larger than you'd like number of storage nodes.

Yes it has inline FEC, (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-ceph/7?topic=components-...) but its lots of layers to get to a file system.

Personally I'd have a redundant array of storage nodes and be done with it. Its easier to debug a single server than 3 layers of ceph weirdness.
