What have you configured to add the replica when a new node is spun up? If you're just copying the entire directory including the core.properties file, you're just getting lucky. The legcyCloud=true default is _probably_ adding the replica with a new URL and thus making it distinct.
Please detail exactly what you do when you add a new node.....
