Hi guys,
Thank you all for your input. I will try to get my hands on a few Huawei
servers for testing before deciding.
The specs are really interesting, it looks like they have some power in
them besides the high core numbers (2.6 Ghz) :

I'll let you know how it goes.

I've been running ceph on a heterogeneous mix of rock64 and rpi4 SBCs.
i've had to do my own builds, as the upstream ones started off with
thunked-out checksumming due to (afaict) different arm feature sets
between upstream's build targets and my SBCs, but other than that one,
haven't run into any arm-specific issues. i've had to clamp down cache
size to avoid memory exhaustion on the smaller boards, and ran into
some corruption due to seemingly a bad interaction between o_direct
and zram swap on a particular kernel version, but those aren't
problems unique to ceph on arm.
i should also mention that i'm really very tolerant of latency with
this cluster, as this is just some homelab garbage running on the
cheapest slowest spinning disk available, so there's some bounds on
what i'm asserting.

Adrian;
I've always considered the advantage of ARM to be the reduction in
the failure domain. Instead of one server with 2 processors, and
2 power supplies, in 1 case, running 48 disks, you can do 4 cases
containing 8 power supplies, and 32 processors running 32 (or
64...) disks.
The architecture is different with ARM; you pair an ARM SoC up
with just one or 2 disks, and you only run the OSD software.
Thank you,

Personally I have not run Ceph on ARM, but there are companies
selling such setups:
