We've been running 1.8.2, bare metal, Ubuntu Focal in hot standby mode for
a few months now, without issue. There's only 557 leases currently, so
pretty lightweight. All IPv4.  They all have 60 minute leases. The vast
majority are host reservations, so very few dynamic leases. DDNS isn't
enabled.

It's too few hosts, for too short of a time, to really derive much insight
from :)

But I figured I'd chime in that we're using that mode.
