Yes, I get that, thanks.

It's that we have a new clean slate to begin with, and want to be as
resilient as possible from the start.  The benefit of having a
multi-master (ldap backed) configuration would be no need to promote a
slave to replace a failing master, and also letting ldap take the
replication load.  Just want to be sure that nothing's going to byte
us.
