Good point, although if I read that properly, all of those present the
data as a raw block device and therefore have to have a client-side
filesystem mounted on them. Probably more sophisticated than what our
intrepid adventurer was looking for
RBD as a base image for a VM is great for cloud server VMs, though!

There is no One Size Fits All solution. For you, it seems that speed is more
important than high availability. For me, it's HA+redundancy.
Ceph has 3 ways to deliver data to remote clients:
1. As a direct ceph mount on the client. From experience, this is a pain when
the clients hibernate.
2. As an internal ganesha NFS server running under ceph
3. As an independent ganesha NFS server using ceph as a backend.
Some deployments also do KRBD mounts onto a VM or BM system that re-exports
them via KNFS
CephFS and RGW (with caveats) can also be exported with SMB.
RBD mounts, either through KRBD or libvirt are popular as well.
