That's about right and usually what you encounter when looking for
enterprise level functionalities and support/warranty.

I was basically referring to any of these:

And yes, they are are about 3-5 times more expensive than what you listed.

If they can handle everything needed (and with a small enough Ceph cluster
they may very well do so), definitely.

I couldn't determine it 100% from the docs, but it seems they might be
limited to 32 LAGs per stack (so 16 dual-ported end nodes). 
Not a very small number, but then we ran into such a limitation with
another project and Brocade switches when it grew (slightly) larger than
planned.
Also these switches seems to be lacking in the V6 department, again based
on a cursory glance at their specs and docs.
