Yeah there's no perfect way to do this but there are advantages to being flexible and the use-case you mention is a subset of what I am describing. Imagine a workload that is write heavy and handles very few reads say 20:1 writes to reads. Then having many storage nodes could speed up the reads and if you have say a fix set of nodes allocating 20x more storage nodes than compute nodes might make sense. The whole thing is a science and I do like the flexibility.
