I have heard before that the recommended minimum cluster size is 4 (with
replication factor of 3). I am curious to know if vnodes would change that
or if that statement was valid to begin with!
The use case I am working on is one where we see tremendous amount of load

The reason that RF=3 is recommended
The key advantage of vnodes in this case is that you do not need to
manually rebalance the cluster when adding or removing nodes.
Well, I thing that a bigger key advantage of vnodes would rather be the
performance improvement due to the evenly distributed load while streaming
data.
But it indeed
