CephFS does not require a central NFS server. Any Linux server can mount the CephFS volume at the same time. There is also a windows client for CephFS (https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/mpoat/cephfs-client-windows-based-dokan-060).
I don't see the need for the NFS/SMB server or complicated HA setup. What you do need to make sure is HA is the MDS service. It is not natively HA, but there are several guides to work around that.

It could be adapted to use CephFS with relative ease.
