I know. We run it for near a decade now. I mentioned it because a lot of uses for minio are pretty small.
I had 2 servers at home running their builtin site replication and it was super easy setup that would take far more of both hardware and work to replicate to ceph so while ceph might be theoretically fitting feature list, realisticially it isn't an option.
The Ceph way of doing asynchronous replication would be to run separate clusters and ship incremental snapshots between them. I don't know if anyone's programmed the automation for that, but it's definitely doable. For S3 only, radosgw has it's own async replication thing.
