S5232 Leaf/Spine with 100G mesh experiences

Requesting some community feedback or experience with Dell Leaf/Spine using S5232-ON for both spine and leaf? The network will service a self contained render facility with a couple hundred nodes accessing ~3 PB Storage. Peak aggregate storage throughput can be up to 0.5Tbs. It’s a retrofit, Dell proposing to use 100G SWDM optics on the existing OM4 MM horizontal cabling for the mesh. Any feedback on the switch model, these optics or leaf/spine topology at this bandwidth and any gotchas much appreciated.
