In scenario 2 it's lost, if both nodes die and get replaced entirely there's no history anywhere that the write ever happened, as it wouldn't be in commitlog, memtable, or sstable in node 3. Surviving that failure scenario of two nodes with same data simultaneously failing requires upping CL or RF, or spreading across 3 racks, if the situation you're trying to avoid is rack failure (which im guessing it is from the question setup)
