Oh my, I see confusion on the horizon. _Which_ autoaddreplica? Pre 7x and autoscaling, autoAddReplica is all about HDFS and spinning up a new Solr instance that points to an existing index so there's no impact on the leader (other than normal peer sync if you're actively indexing).
Autoscaling, on the other hand (7x) spins up a new replica and it goes through sync before it's ready to server queries. This is really just an ADDREPLICA and you can test the impacts on your particular installation by issuing that collections API command.
