Storage Backend is ceph using 2x 10Gbit/s and i'm able to read from it
with 500-1500MB/s. See below for an example.

Yes.

# time rbd -p cephstor4 export vm-264-disk-1 abc.img
Exporting image: 100% complete...done.

real    1m30.828s
user    1m3.858s
sys     0m43.645s

# du -h abc.img
30G     abc.img
