And the quorum at 2, should be interesting. I think I'm going to like this, and hope it works out well enough that it can be carried over to the main project. In effect it should be almost as good as suddenly getting 33% more hosts.

There's a side effect of the quorum of 2 that I particularly like, the results from both hosts in that quorum are certainly "strongly similar" if they're validated before a third result is received. With the quorum of 3 only the one chosen as canonical was definitely a member of a "strongly similar" pair.
