Everything is ok for me as long that:

a) operation must be automated (this is what i've asked initially
[1]), maybe with a single command.

b) during the replace phase, replica count is not decreased but increased.

Joe's solution require a distributed-replicated volume. this shouldn't
be an issue, modern servers has multiple disk bays, starting with 1
disk per server (replica 3) is fine, If I need to expand i'll add 3
disks more (1 more per server). After this, will be possible to do a
replacement like in Joe's solution. The biggest drawback is that this
soulution isn't viable for server with just 1 brick and no more disk
bays available (ie: a single raid with all disks used as single brick)
