Client-side quorum can do this with the cluster.quorum-reads option, but
it lacks support for arbiters.  The options you've set enforce quorum at
the server side, by killing brick daemons if quorum is lost.  I suppose
it might be possible to add the read-only translator instead of killing
the daemon, but AFAIK there's no plan to add that feature.
