You could look at the zfs-over-iscsi provided the SAN is cable of:
1) Using ZFS as filesystem
2) Exposing volumes as LUN's
3) Running SSHD

It is not a shareable filesystem like NFS but more like a disk for a
specific VM which can be accessed from a number of Proxmox nodes but
only allowing access from a specific Proxmox node at any given time.
