You are correct. The current multi-node deployment (if you need it for your workload) does have one "managing" access node. All ANs and DNs can be replicated and configured with tooling such as patroni for HA.

We have a few users that have larger multi-node clusters setup this way (one at 40+ nodes so far) and happy with the offering overall. Obviously YMMV depending on requirements/IT support.
