After the last library tanked, I migrated to Bacula and disked based backups
to 3 different servers, 2 of which are remote.

Sorry...

We, and many of our clients, use HP LTO drives, from LTO1 to LTO3.
Mostly with Backup Exec, but a few using Bacula. In some dirty
environments they do seem to have a slightly higher failure rate than I
would like, but when they are used in a clean environment according to
their specifications they work well.

Ditto on HP drives.

HP LTO tapes seem to be pretty reliable.

FWIW, I have had very bad luck w/ HP branded LTO's, for several years
they had low MTBF and not last long for me...

I would be very surprised if it didn't work. I have two LTO4 drives
sitting on Fibre Channel in a tape-library, but except from the
changer-device and another connnection interface everything is excactly
the same to Linux/Bacula.
