The Ceph Enterprise default is 65% nearfull. Do not go above 85% nearfull unless you are stuck while backfilling and need to increase it to add/remove storage. Ceph needs overhead to be able to recover from situations where disks are lost. I always take into account what would happen to the %full if I lost a full storage node and used that as my target size.
The first place to look when trying to use more space is to balance your cluster to get all disks closer to how fill the cluster is as a whole. By default osds can be as far apart as 50% while others are 85% and your cluster % used is right around upper 60's-low 70's. The most full I've ever maintained a cluster was 77-80% full and it took so much more babysitting as any time a disk died or we added storage, it required constant babysitting to make sure things would finish backfilling. This cluster has 50 nodes.
