It is very common to have a single type of node, a converged architecture, especially with smaller deployments.
The above three lines RAM/cores for entire nodes?

I would suggest


Run 5 mons, not 3.  That lets you survive a double failure.  It happens.
Run one RGW / ingress on every cluster node.  RGW scales better horizontally than vertically.


18x nodes:
- 10x 7.6 TB SSD
- NVMe-only chassis, no SAS/SATA, no RAID HBA
- M.2 boot
- bonded 25GE
- 128GB RAM
- at least 32 physical cores / 64 hyperthreads per node.  If using AMD processors, disable IOMMU and consider a 1S chassis and an XXXX-P SKU

or

9x nodes like the above but with 15 TB SSDs

Enterprise SSDs, not client-class.
