You understand correctly in that the tool was originally written to analyze RADOS with replication and RAID, independently. Erasure coding can be used independently and I had considered the original scope to be modeling just that, a erasure coded pool in isolation. Being able to model durability of a tiered pool configuration would be an excellent next step, though.
