Given that we have several members of our community with 2TB databases, and

Only via replication or creative use of DBLink. Nobody has yet offered to
build us database server clustering, which would be very nice to have, but
would require a substantial investment from a corporate sponsor.

That sounds doable on proper hardware with good tuning. Might I suggest
that you consider hiring a consultant and start from there? I believe that
Afilias Limited (www.afilias.info) has the requisite experience in Europe.
