I'm hoping to implement cephfs in production at some point this year so I'd be interested to hear your progress on this.
Have you considered SSD for your metadata pool? You wouldn't need loads of capacity although even with reliable SSD I'd probably still do x3 replication for metadata. I've been looking at the intel s3610's for this.
