Have used SeaweedFS to store billions of thumbnails. The tooling is a bit clunky, but it mostly works. The performance is very good for small-ish objects (memory usage + latency), and latency remains consistently good into 99.9 percentiles. We had some issues with data loss and downtime, but that was mostly our own fault.

What issues did you run into? Not settling replication?
This was a couple of years ago now, but for example, some very minor amount of objects had not been replicated at all. This happened during heavy concurrent write traffic, and a couple of these race condition-ish bugs have been fixed over the years.
