Minimal replica set config with backup

Is a 3 node replica set w/ 1 hidden, voting member used as a backup source a viable configuration assuming read performance is acceptable?

Just to confirm, you have 1 primary, 2 secondaries, and a hidden node?

If so, don't do that - as the hidden node will still partake in elections, and you never want an even number of voting members.

I'd knock off one of the secondaries, so you're back to 3 nodes, or add in another secondary.

The default recommended setup for redundancy and backup on the documentation is 3 members.

It is perfectly acceptable for a startup set.

Can't really give a better answer than: This would work just fine.
