If the storage on the standby fails, you would lose the archive, right?

I think there's a use case for having two identical servers, and just
setting them up to replicate synchronously. Many of these use-cases
might not even care much about write performance or the duplicity of
maintaining two copies of the archive. They might care a lot about PITR
though, and that would be impossible if you lose the archive.

Do you see a cost to allowing all of the options listed by Fujii Masao?
