Package based Ceph deployments, while popular, are not a good choice in general. The very simple reason is that it makes upgrades more dangerous: you can unintentionally upgrade services in the wrong order due to failovers.
Or when a node crashes / reboots during an upgrade. This has happened to me.
I'd be interested to hear ways in which we could make containers more attractive (developer tooling, lower overhead, etc.) rather than ways to return to a fundamentally flawed package based orchestration framework.
