  There would be some quality-of-life improvements like being able to replace a switch without pulling down entire cluster, but it is mostly for a challenge.

    A good answer to a “why?” question is “why not?” This can be a great learning or practice opportunity for redundant network links and other interface challenges.

      Absolutely this. I learned so much on my homelab that at this point has more resiliency than some medium businesses (n+1 switching, vSAN for critical VMs, n+0.5 UPS for 15 minutes)
