"Camunda 8, Setting up High Availability on k8s Cluster

Hello, we are using Camunda 8 on a k8s cluster (OKD).
Could you please provide guidance on the following questions:

Is it advisable to have 2 or more nodes for camunda-elasticsearch?
Is it possible and reasonable to back up Elasticsearch, in cases where k8s (OKD) is recovered after a failure?
Are there any recommendations for ensuring high availability (some best practices)?

Best regards.
