> Multiple nodes that still have a single bottleneck in form of pumping I/O back and forth between the node and postgres.

if you're evenly distributing ingress traffic from the proxy to the nodes, it should (depending on lb algorithm) spread traffic evenly(ish) across the nodes then down the io tunnel to pg. if the pg node had a low latency link (ie same network/lan) i/o should be less of an issue i would think.

i recently experimented with pleroma on kubernetes with an out of band pg backend over wireguard (local, not via vps) and threw stressor on it. performance was pretty good tbh
