By default, the operator creates a 3 node cluster, but default replication factor is currently set to 1, ie no replication at all.
This creates a dangerous situation where creating a cluster with the defaults can give the impression that having multiple brokers means there is some protection from hardware failure, where there is none.
A safer default is to match the number of brokers.
