Hello, avoid size 2 whenever you can. As long as you know that you might lose data, it can be an acceptable risk while migrating the cluster. We had that in the past multiple time and it is a valid use case in our opinion. However make sure to monitor the state and recover as fast as possible. Leave min_size on 2 as well and accept the potential downtime!
