Very true.  This is why I'm essentially running RAID6.  Well, that and
for various reasons you don't want to allow writes to Ceph without at
least one drive worth of redundancy, so having an extra replica means
that you can lose one and remain read-write, and then if you lose a
second during recovery you might be read-only but you still have data
integrity.  (Don't want to get into details - it is a Ceph-specific
issue.)

I'm getting there.  Granted, at 3+2 erasure coding that's only a bit
over 30TiB usable space.
