We are actually very happy with database performance over block storage.
As for the architecture, in DigitalOcean the external block storage is the only way to separate function from state. We need this to be able to rebuild VPS-es regularly. This is to avoid configuration drift and to prove/enforce reproducibility.

And recycling or OS upgrades can happen if your story around replication is sound -- I only typically do that every two years anyway following the Ubuntu LTS releases.
