I have a small cluster running using Starwind for my vSAN. For me it's much cheaper than a hardware equivalent and is performant enough.
Oh and I haven't had a "stop work" issue with it in 8 years.
Somewhat remarkably it was OK performance-wise when sync/iSCSI traffic were running on 1Gb copper connections to spinning rust storage... Now I have 10Gb fibre between the hosts, coupled with nvme drives, and it's quite (comparatively) quick.
As with all things YMMV... But vSAN is the way for my use case.
