I avoid migrating to a new major version so fast. I usually wait a few years 
and until than solusions will have been established.
I’m currently running a rock-solid dovecot 2.2 cluster and am migrating this to 
dovecot 2.3 (not 4) now. :D

So wihtin the next couple of years, I’m planing to setup a shared storage 
(i.ex. GlusterFS) Cluster for underneath.

This will be my current „migration plan“ to dovecot not supporting replication 
anymore:

2 x Loadblancers (accross two sites) with keepalived and haproxy
3x GlusterFS nodes
3x Galera Cluster mariadb nodes
2x dovecot IMAP with Postfix SMTP (wihout director there’s no need anynmore to 
use dovecot SMTP implementation)

The Loadbalancer-, Galera- and Gluster modes are shared wit the existing web 
service infrastructure, so not dedicated to dovecot.

If the HA storage and database clusters will be used dedicated for mail, this 
makes 11 nodes for a fully HA cluster accross two sites. With virtualization 
infrastructure that should not get very expensive.
