For the most part it comes down to your client libraries. Personally,
I would upgrade Ceph first, leaving Openstack running older client
libraries. I did this with Jewel clients talking to a Luminous
cluster, so you should be fine with K->M. Then, when you upgrade
Openstack, your client libraries can get updated along with it. If you
do Openstack first, you'll need to come back around and update your
clients, and that will require you to restart everything a second
time.

I haven't done this specific combination, but I have mixed and matched
Openstack and Ceph versions without any issues. I have MItaka, Queens,
and Rocky all talking to Luminous without incident.
