One quick counterpoint to this...
All your data is on the SAN. Putting the binaries on the same SAN
shouldn't really be a big deal, because it's not like you'll be using
those binaries much if the data isn't accessible... and I've seen *lots*
of deployments where the SAN is used to give each server a chunk of
storage for binaries.
Using a cluster filesystem and shared oracle home is also possible, but
really a completely separate question from whether or not to use SAN.
If you're interested in this, just make sure you're comfortable with the
CFS and the shared-binary model. (Personally I don't think it's any
more of a SPOF than having the shared data on the SAN. It can make for
a rather elegant architecture if done right.)
But CFS is a lot less common - most people use dedicated oracle-homes.
And in my experience, most people use SAN for the binaries.
