OK, I was guessing that journal on disk, but good to know.
Which exact model?
Some of them are rather unsuited for Ceph usage (SMR).

OK, this is where I plead ignorance, no EC experience at all.
But it would be strange for this to be hitting a single disk at a time.

Alright, can you confirm (with atop or the likes) that the busy disk is
actually being written/read to by the OSD process in question and if there
is a corresponding network traffic for the amount of I/O?
