It is, how about a 5TB disk image/virtual disk on a virtualized server that has a RAID array of 10 512GB SSDs? (the SSDs would only cost around $6000)
Not to mention the fact that files can be sparse.

An f2fs teardown
f2fs isn't really optimized for SSDs at all. The largest media today that it actually targets are USB sticks of maybe 128GB that are both slow and expensive. Rather than using a RAID of 40 USB sticks and f2fs, I would always recomment getting a bunch of SSDs and using btrfs on them.
