Yes. A bonus is that if you use it in combination with a health-check-capable proxy (HAProxy, Kubernetes), clients can be routed to any non-paused node automatically. In fact, you'll need that, since a paused node will close its ports.

That said, the devil is in the details; I'd be interested to know if RabbitMQ is capable of reliably detecting that it's in a minority. We've had issues where nodes are having issues talking to each other, but the problem is not consistent on both ends (e.g. A can talk to B, but B can't talk to A).

Hi, even in pause_minority mode; when the node/s that was in the minority rejoin the cluster, then it will loose any messages that it had and assume the messages of the majority.
