Has anyone tried TrueNAS Scale and DRBD, Pacemaker Corosync etc

https://piraeus.io/ might be a good option rather than longhorn, check it out.

Distributed Storage in a WAN Setting

For kubernetes I also tried https://piraeus.io/ which is a drbd-operator for kubernetes; it creates+mirrors LVM volumes between nodes. In my experience it was faster than ceph although not 100% stable; sometimes a volume would get stuck on a node and only a reboot could help.
Which block storage solution to self host ?

Comparing Ceph, Linstor, Mayastor and Vitastor Storage Performance in Kubernetes

A lot better.
A couple of years ago I could see volumes on Linstor getting completely stuck and unrecoverable whenever the network was getting busy or unstable. Nodes reboot were a nightmare too.
Have a setup now with their Piraeus operator[1], Kubernetes >= 1.20, rancher and calico, and it seems to be very stable. XFS have been giving better results too. Still, better not to try too many reboot loops on the nodes.

Which block storage solution to self host ?

You mentioned that your primary NAS is Debian; [server-world](https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_11&p=iscsi&f=2) and many others have tutorials on configuring [tgt](https://github.com/fujita/tgt); it's not terribly complex.
