Canonical idea for this kind of needs is using OpenAFS, in what
areas does mogilefs look better?
OpenAFS should be hardened out in many years of development, repli-
cation of the meta-data needed for distributed filesystems should
feel better than for mogilefs.

Of course its not easy to set up, requires kerberos-authentication
and all small dependencies for this like proper DNS, ntp etc.

Traffic is also not encrypted, harder to setup than mogilefs, its
also opensource but much heavier codebase than mogilefs.
