I strongly disagree. I run a small (3 nodes) Ceph cluster in my homelab
and following the official docs it's pretty easy to set up. The hardware
demands mostly depend on what performance one needs - the more performance
(e.g. NVMe storage and 100 GBit networking) one wants, the more powerful
hardware one has to provide, as usual. My nodes are Intel D-1521 with
64G of (ECC, of course) RAM and Connect-X 4 cards running at 10 GBit
and storage on HDDs which provide reasonable performance for my needs - not
a HPC setup, of course.

Last time I looked, MooseFS needs a commercial license for the full feature
set (e.g. highly available metadata (_that_ is not negotiable!), erasure
oding, Windows clients) which killed it for my non-commercial use case.
Kind regards,
Alex.
