Ceph is supported since 3.6 via Cinder.

But the support is not complete, some features are not available with Ceph,
mainly integration with other storage types, like moving disks to/from Ceph
and other storage, live storage migration, image upload and download,
and vm leases.

But it may be good enough to keep you happy!
