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.

But for metadata heavy operations, ie git, its not the FS I would choose. like lustre it can be fast, if your workload aligns with it's tradeoffs. but high metadata loads are not ceph-fs's strong point, (or many other distributed filesystems either)
