> We ensure the CRDT is synced with at least two nodes in different geographical areas before returning an OK status to a write operation [...] we ensure durability of written data but without having to pay the synchronization penalty of Raft.
This is, in essence, strongly-consistent replication; in the sense that you wait for a majority of writes before answering a request: So you're still paying the latency cost of a round trip with a least another node on each write. How is this any better than a Raft cluster with the same behavior? (N/2+1 write consistency)
