Ceph RBD can technically support multi-writer access through exclusive locking, but it won't be the same as multi-writer.
You can set up a radosgw outside of the proxmox and use objects.
But ceph is fundamentally a distributed object store, shared LUNs with block level multi-writer is fundamentally a tightly coupled solution.
If you have a legacy need that has OCFS or a quorum drive, the underlying tools proxmox is an abstraction can sometimes be used as these types of systems tend to be pets.
But if you were just using multi-writer because it was there, there are alternatives that are typically more robust under the shared nothing model like Ceph uses.
But it is all tradeoffs and horses for courses.

There is Ceph and then there is CephFS, "a POSIX-compliant file system built on top of Ceph’s distributed object store, RADOS": * https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/ https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/ * https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_CephFS https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_CephFS
