Sure! That's the setup I was running before all of this. My problems are likely entirely my own making, tbh, as described in the article.

IME K8s in general and longhorn especially behaved poorly in the face of heterogeneous hardware where the largest node is flaky and has more cores and memory than the rest of the nodes combined.

My point is that, for me, in my setup, with my own idiosyncratic constrains, trying to keep up with Talos + longhorn + fluxcd expended way too many spoons in any given month.
