RE: Properly Decentralising Steem & Cutting Costs by Witnesses running their own Servers & APIs
Also 3 machines can create redundancy that single mega server doesn’t have. Heavily used APIs can be on 2 of 3 machines while lightly used only on one. If you go to 4 x $2000 machines you get heaps of redundancy for half annual price of renting a mega server.

Not really, unless you are talking 3 machines running ALL plugins. If so, 128GB will be a problem. If they are running only some of the plugins, then you will have problems when one goes down, they basically all go down because your account history may be up but your tags or follows are down and that breaks whatever app you are using.
Jussi would handle the routing, but it does not have load balancing.
So splitting plugins across three machines increases your risk for downtime. Much like Raid 0, if any disk goes down, you are down.
