Hi, sorry for the late answer.

Some information can be found here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Plugin_Development
If there is some more specific questions, you can ask here on the pve-devel mailing list

currently we only support guest replication only within one cluster and only on zfs

but what do you want to achieve exactly?

with shared storage (as in, available on more hosts in the cluster simultaneously), our ha
stack can fail over the guests to other nodes in case a node looses quorum

so if your storage is 'shared', there shouldn't be anything special to be done

hope this helps
kind regard
