Is there some reason why your Elasticsearch nodes cannot serve as both master and data? I believe that dedicated master nodes should only come into play with large clusters, way beyond the 3 you have. If your master nodes are tied to your app nodes, then I believe you will have less resiliency since app servers are the ones the normally are rebooted in case of issues.
