It really depends on your situation. My big question is though, why do
you want to go to straw2?

As described, straw2 will make less changes on stress. So, if in future I will replace or add HDDs (2T -> 4T, move 2T, etc) it must less "repair" works. To make less stress on stress, in short.

In a situation where all hosts are equal in size straw2 doesn't change
anything. It makes a difference where you have a lot of unequally sized
hosts.

You can test this by fetching you crushmap from the cluster and perform
tests on it with 'crushtool'.

That will tell you what the differences will be between straw and straw2.

Yes, now I change 1 (of 4) host (3x2T same HDDs) to straw2, no visible changes. Even restart this OSDs. But I have a bit different hosts (3x2T not precise equal to 6x1T, and want to bay some 4T). Also I apply "hammer" tunable.

Now I will think and look some days before move other 3 host and whole rack. And may be wait issues there.
