Checking this out I'm also not sure about this.

IMO it might be a better option to have different confirmation
prompts, where the one for the node has some more info, like the
amount of running guests that might be affected, or a hint that the
cluster might loose quorum if that nodes is shutdown, like if in a
three node cluster one node is already unavailable and then the user
continues to shutdown another one - can be fine, but would not hurt
to get some extra hint about implications.

Yet another thing might be offering to optionally give a shutdown
reason, i.e. some predefined (appllying updates, maintenance) and
a free form one. A bit like what windows server does, and while I
normally really do not want to take that as prime example for good
UX, it might have some value for orgs with multiple admins to see
the original reason behind a shutdown or reboot.

Maybe there is more, but that's implementation details, having
any of that info there would make the dialogue much more visual
distinct and informational compared to a slightly different button
icon, especially for users with (slightly) impaired visual senses.
