Sure, if you enjoy paying $80/TB-month (before replication or backups). If you're operating at a scale that justifies running a datacenter, EBS is basically a non-starter.
$80 is nothing compared to an infra engineer salary of +$5000 a month.
And you will need one. permamently. because this stuff breaks in so many spectacular ways... i.e splitbrain. a joy to resolve.
Per petabyte, we are talking $80,000 per month.
I love baremetal but I agree, distributed storage is hell. I found it slightly harder to sleep at night managing a prod Ceph cluster.
