How much do you like your data? It really depends. There are situations that a replication factor of 1 is sufficient, we work with 3 (with replicas in each of our three DCs, because that's our model-of-things-were-afraid-of). The question really is - how many brokers do you want to be able to afford to lose, and do you want to pay the insurance premium (extra storage, lower performance)?
