I know I am late here, but for the record, if you ask crush to change
in such a way that PGs are asked to move to "impossible" places, they
will just end up being remapped/misplaced and continue to serve data.
They will obviously not backfill anywhere, but they will also not
cause troubles apart from ceph -s telling you the whole pool(s) is
misplaced currently. Then you can revert the crush change and
everything goes back to normal again.

I have made such "mistakes" several times, and ceph kept going even
though I panicked and flailed with my arms a lot until I managed to
revert the bad crush map changes.
