Thanks for the response. Could you elaborate more on the bad things
that happen during a restart or message drops that would cause a 1
replica restore to fail? I'm completely on board with not using a
restore process that nobody else uses, but I need to convince somebody
else who thinks that it will work that it is not a good idea.

That would be OK only if you never had node go down (e.g. a restart) or drop
messages.
It's not something I would consider trying.

It has been suggested to me that we could save a fair amount of time and money
by taking a snapshot of only 1 replica (so every third node for most column
families). Assuming that we are okay with not having the absolute latest data,
does this have any possibility of working? I feel like it shouldn't but don't
really know the argument for why it wouldn't.
