A quorum is a strict majority of the total membership. 2 monitors can
form a quorum just fine if there are either 2 or 3 total membership.
(As long as those two agree on every action, it cannot be lost.)

We don't *recommend* configuring systems with an even number of
monitors, because it increases the number of total possible failures
without increasing the number of failures that can be tolerated. (3
monitors requires 2 in quorum, 4 does too. Same for 5 and 6, 7 and 8,
etc etc.)

Well, the remaining OSD won't be able to process IO because it's lost
its peers, and it can't reach any monitors to do updates or get new
maps. (Monitors which are not in quorum will not allow clients to
connect.)
The clients will eventually stop serving IO if they know they can't
reach a monitor, although I don't remember exactly how that's
triggered.

In this particular case, though, the client probably just tried to do
an op against the dead osd, realized it couldn't, and tried to fetch a
map from the monitors. When that failed it went into search mode,
which is what the logs are showing you.
