all of those things are going to put a ton of IO load on your underlying storage. LH and Prometheus are both quite IO intensive. Especially if you’re running 3 LH replicas against the same physical disk. I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up having reliability problems due to that.
also if you’re doing 3 node I would go with embedded etcd instead of mysql. the only reason to use an external sql DB is if you want to do two-node HA.

I've only tried Kubernetes for a week or two so everything is brand new! I saw that you can use "metrics server" or Prometheus/Grafana in OpenLens but maybe I don't even need to think about it in Rancher?
What i want is maybe just two node's then.. Just to be able to bring one offline if upgrades need's to be done. Nothing real crazy.

generally you don’t take them down for upgrades… you just drop a new binary on the host and restart the service
or use the system upgrade controller or rancher and it will do that for you

Oh! So maybe just even a single node would work for me then.. Haha! As you can see. still learning!
