Most SMB autoloaders should just work as they use the stock scsi commands to listing slots etc. Almost any you find will respond to the mtx command which baroes uses.
The only place I would worry is the extreme scale enterprise libraries like the old STK/Oracle Timberwolf or SL8500 libraries that use ACSLS even then might still work, just would want to look around to see if they support mtx. Similar with the IBM ts3500/4500, If your spending $100,000+ get a demo or lab access though. That’s what we did with our (not used with baroes) 2 x TS4500 at work.
The SMB versions (1-4 RU systems) from almost any vendor will work. They again use the stock scsi commands and almost all are made by the same handul of ODMs and rebadged.
I use an ebay tandberg with baroes at home and it works fine, and they still update the same system just wiht newer drives, sure you could find it with LTO7/8, but I know the Dell TL series works. Again most should just work.

I believe most autoloaders are supported. If you can use mtx to talk to the loader, then Bareos can talk to it. I'm using a Dell PowerVault 124T.
