I'm aware that If I cordone and delete nodes until there are only 3 left, they will be promoted accordingly. Just not sure how to selectively promote/demote each node, or even exceed 3 management nodes.

there is no means to selectively promote/demote nodes
the harvester controller will check if there are a min of 3 nodes present and promote them to master. in a cluster with more than 3 nodes, when one of the master nodes is deleted then the oldest non master is promoted to master

Thanks for the information. Is there a reason why that is a case (e.g., technical challenge, industrial practice)? Or maybe, when I want to change management nodes, is there a way to remove other nodes and rejoin them afterward without having Harvester reinstalled?

well the plan was to make installation simpler and just choose nodes for leader election on its own.. and make the UX simpler
only way would be to delete node.. clean it up and add it back

Let's hypothetically say I have multiple nodes in a cluster (10+) and want to upgrade them, or swap roles. Do you have resources on good practice working in that scenario? I imagine no one will go to each node to configure them manually.
