I would say that the Reef release has been an interesting ride, you
hold off on the 18.2.0 and early releases to be safe from the worst
burn-in bugs and by the time you get your first test cluster with
reef, its around 18.2.2, so this is when the "fun" starts.

First 18.2.3 leak out so 18.2.4 needs to get pushed out so people who
accidentally got the not-good 18.2.3 can upgrade, then around this
time rgw uploads start to fail due to how AWS-supporting clients want
to have their checksumming done, so all the "we run latest aws-sdk"
clients can't upload to S3 anymore, then come 18.2.5 with a solution
for this so you upgrade into that, which in turn makes ipv6 configs
fail/complain and dmcrypt for OSDs gets broken, so you quickly upgrade
to the fresh 18.2.6, but that seems to make certain clusters OSDs to
crash, so you hold your breath while waiting for 18.2.7 and if you run
Alma Linux 9 (and presumably other rhel/centos derivates that have
worked for the other 18.2.x releases) the upgrade now fails due to
changed ssl deps and suddenly you need to flip your whole cluster
deployment to containers.

If anyone had an idea that upgrading minors Should Be Fine(tm) then
ceph 18 will be a fresh break from that.

No, I did not experience ALL these issues myself - only some of them -
but its been quite the time to get the popcorn..
