There are forks of Ethereum already running PoS consensus (e.g. Binance Smart Chain, Songbird and an upcoming fork called PulseChain to name a few). I hear the difficult part is getting the sharding to work.

It also uses the Tendermint consensus protocol from Cosmos, which is different from the PoS implementation being worked on by Ethereum. Sharding is definitely proving to be challenging for Ethereum, but my understanding is that it's being worked on independently of the move to PoS now.
