RAIN over RAID
This is likely the answer. I found this: Drath of RAID and am reading it.
I don’t see many diagrams on it, or much on it really- maybe I’m not searching the right term(s).

Of course there are no diagrams, ML is to discuss, not a hand book on how to setup an exact system. Everything you're being asked to do is going to require RAIN, but the specifics of how it's setup is going to be completely unique to this environment.

Reading the documentation for gluster, there is nothing particularly difficult to understand here. Since RAIN is what you're going to be using, might be worth reading. https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/

Doesn’t meet the requested OS-
They only want Windows. -

They only want Windows.Well they clearly don't know what they want and how it works.
My assumption is they want a Windows File Server, they shouldn't care how the underlying environment is setup so long as they are presented with the interface to "manage the files" that they are used to.

I suppose you could use Storage Spaces Direct (all windows across the entire thing) but I wouldn't consider SSD at all mature nor production ready, especially at this scale.

Thanks, had not heard of this.

You'd not heard of Storage Spaces Direct?

RAIN is used pretty much everywhere. But it's not something you normally implement yourself. So you aren't going to find much on it because almost no one works with it.

DataOn solutions fully support this and vice versa. They are experienced with this kind of scale and much larger.
