> Hetzner volumes are, in my experience, too slow for a production database. While you may in the past have had a good experience running customer-facing databases on AWS EBS, with Hetzner's volumes we were seeing >50ms of IOWAIT with very low IOPS. See https://github.com/rook/rook/issues/14999 for benchmarks.

I set up rook ceph on a talos k8s cluster (with vm volumes) and experienced similar low performance; however, I always thought that was because of the 1Gi vSwitch (i.e. networking problem)?! The SSD volumes were quite fast.
