This would only be a thing though if we permanently keep 3 or more gerrit servers around.

So far we have one prod and one replica and once old hardware is replaced we would be back to exactly 2 machines in production with one extra as standby for gerrit and phab. And that one we would only use if one of the 2 prod machines dies.

So then it would be more like "how to spin up a new replica" rather than failing over from one working one to another. right?

In scope: decide and document whether we keep the second replica around permanently.
