Why are you asking HN? Do you have anyone you know in your personal life you can talk to? Family or friends? Hopefully someone you know well can give you some honest feedback and help you figure out what would be a better fit for you. I don't see how a bunch of strangers on HN could possibly help seeing as they know nothing about you and totally lack context.
IMHO, sometimes strangers can offer advice without bias, whereas those closest to you cannot.

Juice is cool, but tradeoffs around which metadata store you choose end up being very important. It also writes files in it's own uninterpretable format to object storage, so if you lose the metadata store, you lose your data.
When we tried it at Krea we ended up moving on because we couldn't get sufficient performance to train on, and having to choose which datacenter to deploy our metadata store on essentially forced us to only use it one location at a time.
In large-scale metadata scenarios, JFS recommends using a distributed key-value store to host metadata, such as TiKV or FoundationDB. Based on my experience with large JFS users, most of them choose TiKV.
