Safe to mix standalone and cluster nodes?

Hello,

I am currently running a 3-node Proxmox Hyper-converged cluster with Ceph storage. I'm building two standalone nodes that won't have any shared resources at all, and have no need of redundancy for the guests running on them.

I've read that you can add in multiple standalone nodes into the same cluster for ease of management. Is it safe to do the same with a cluster sharing resources and nodes not sharing resources?

I suspect it works using HA groups for the guests that need HA. Are there any concerns, gotchas or downsides with this approach?

Thank you,

Al
