No one in their right mind would attempt to use Ceph in place of MinIO. Yes, Ceph can provide S3 compliant object storage via the RadosGW, but the effort and footprint is not worth it for MinIO use cases. On the other hand, OpenStack Swift's all-in-one (typically used by developers) could easily be a replacement of MinIO.
I admit personal bias, but that's no longer the only way to deploy Ceph object storage these days. (And full-blown Ceph is rather good when you in fact require resilience and very large scale.)
