Excellent write-up. I had Nextcloud running on K3s with its files on a NAS which were shared with Minio and it worked well. I'm looking into Longhorn, but only have 2 nodes and it wants at least 3. I'm reevaluating my resiliency needs in favour of simplification.
If you're only at 2 nodes, then I think host paths with node selectors are what you should go with. That gets you up and running in the short term, but know that the conversion later to something like Longhorn will be a process. (Creating the volumes, then copying all the data over, ensuring correct user access, etc).
I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It's not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I'm preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.
