Ceph's RBD is a distributed block device and works very well; you
could use it to replace DRBD. The CephFS distributed filesystem is in
more of a preview mode and is not supported for general use at this

It should work fine in a cluster of that size, but you're not getting
as many advantages over other solutions at such small scales as you do
from larger ones.
