And... that's why I love this list.
Thanks for being honest.

I agree with this, just because you can doesn't mean you should. It
will likely be significantly less painful to upgrade the
infrastructure to support doing this the more-correct way, vs. trying
to layer swift on top of cephfs. I say this having a lot of personal
experience with Swift at extremely large scales.

You don't want to offer distributed storage on top of distributed
storage.
You can't compare rgw and openstack swift, swift also takes care
of data storage ( the openstack swift proxy is "similar" to rgw ).
For sure you could use 'tricks' like a single replica on swift or
ceph, but don't expect great performance. It sounds like a
terrible idea.
Also, it's probably easier to update your infrastructure rather
than deploy/learn/maintain openstack swift.
