I'm not going to lie.  This makes me dislike Bluestore quite a bit.  Using multiple OSDs to an SSD journal allowed for you to monitor the write durability of the SSD and replace it without having to out and re-add all of the OSDs on the device.  Having to now out and backfill back onto the HDDs is awful and would have made a time when I realized that 20 journal SSDs all ran low on writes at the same time nearly impossible to recover from.

Flushing journals, replacing SSDs, and bringing it all back online was a slick process.  Formatting the HDDs and backfilling back onto the same disks sounds like a big regression.  A process to migrate the WAL and DB onto the HDD and then back off to a new device would be very helpful.

It seems it is not possible. I recreated the OSD

I've created some Bluestore OSD with all data (wal, db, and data) all on the same rotating disk.  I would like to now move the wal and db onto an nvme disk.  Is that possible without re-creating the OSD?

This.  Exactly this.  Not being able to move the .db and .wal data on and off the main storage disk on Bluestore is a regression.
