Most of the legitimate datacenter-scale direct Ceph alternatives unfortunately are proprietary, in part because it takes so much money and human-expertise-hours to even be able to prove out that scale, they want to recoup costs and stay ahead.
Minio is absolutely not datacenter-scale and I would not expect anything in Go to really reach that point. Garbage collection is a rough thing at such enormous scale.
I bet we'll get one in Rust eventually. Maybe from Oxide computer company? Though despite doing so much OSS, they seem to be focused around their specific server rack OS, not general-purpose solutions

Crucible is our storage service: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/crucible
RFD 60, linked in the README, contains a bit of info about Ceph, which we did evaluate: https://rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0060
