cloud-connection on single DMA vs all nodes in a DMS

When enabling cloud-connection I see it’s possible to install it on a single DMA.
Are there disadvantages to only making a single DMA cloud-connected?

Looking at the future, will there be future disadvantages to making only one DMA in the cluster cloud-connected?

One of the advantages of having multiple agents cloud-connected is load balancing and a higher availability rate.

With one agent, all users connecting through the online service will get forward to that particular agent. This means there is a possibility that it will get the bottleneck, i.e. connections getting slower when multiple users connect to it.

With one agent, the availability of the online service is dependent on the availability of that particular agent. If it is down for some reason (e.g. network or server maintenance), the online service will also be down.
