Yeah i agree... the auto balancer is definitely doing a poor job for me. I have been experimenting with this for weeks and i can make way better optimization than the balancer by looking at "ceph osd df tree" and manually running various ceph upmap commands.
Too bad this is tedious work, and tends to get imbalanced again as soon as i need to replace disks.
