The big caveat about these configurations is the amount of time it takes to rebuild a replica due to the quantity of storage per node that has to be pushed over the network. This is one of the low-key major advantages of disaggregated storage. I prefer to design my own hardware infrastructure but there are many operational tradeoffs to consider.
