Right, but that's an intentionally duplicative environment. In most Akka systems, you want to have at *most* one Actor for any given entity. In particular, if you are using Cluster Sharding and Akka Persistence, duplication is a recipe for database corruption.
One might well be able to build a more redundant system on top of Akka, which would be partition-tolerant in the way you're describing. (In particular, I could imagine something CRDT-based that wouldn't care so much.) But that's higher-level than Akka itself generally focuses. And even there, you want to have a well-defined concept of when a node has left the cluster permanently. (Remember that most Akka architectures are designed to be tolerant of scaling the cluster up and down based on load, relatively dynamically.)
