We do this at work, albeit much larger scale than this and I'm the only one who spends any time on upgrades, replacing failed disks and so on. Honestly, apart from upgrades every 3-ish months I don't spend any time at all on this, it's all chugging along without intervention.

Things don't fail as much as they used to, at least not from using something mature as minio and of course hardware can fail as they do specifically spinning rust, which is non trivial to replace if you have hot-swap capable servers in the first place.

I don't possess any decade worth expertise in either minio or running this kind of setup so personally I believe you are exaggerating that this is even worth calling challenge at all.

But that's just my take :)

So I’m sure you’d be more than happy to volunteer your services to NixOS and be responsible for the setup, including when there are issues (which will inevitably happen regardless of tools and technologies used), right?

It’s so easy, after all.

I'd volunteer to do it, if they paid for hardware, colo and transportation for initial install. After things settle down, it takes no more than half an hour or so every month.

Pretending to know how much work something is when it's not your area of expertise is a bit silly.

Actually, yes, it is easy, after all :)
