Practical use case:
- Spin up a bunch of droplets on DigitalOcean, because I want reliability, etc.
- What's the best way to share drive space across these to create a single Minio storage volume, so if one DO node goes away I don't lose my stuff?

The minio available today for production use can export single disk or aggregate multiple disks on the same machine using erasure coding.
For this, if you want backup you can use github.com/minio/mc tool to mirror, more help here https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#mirro...
That gives it some credibility. Especially ability to deal with tough challenges they'll encounter in this domain. Helps to have encountered most already. ;) I'll look at it in more detail later on. I'm also more interested in it if it has many-node, HA/SSI support. What's ETA on that feature?
We are also about to finish distributed server functionality you can track the work here https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/distributed
> A volume may only be attached to one Droplet at a time. However, up to five volumes can be attached to a single Droplet.
Looks like you would have to roll your own solution.
