In this scenario you wouldn't be any better, as loosing a room means
loosing half of your cluster. Can you run the MON somewhere else that
would be able to continue if you loose one of the rooms?
As for MGR and MDS they're (recommended) active/passive; so one per
room would be enough.

replicated with size=2 is a bad idea. You can have size=4 and
min_size=2 and have a crush map with rules something like:
rule crosssite {
id 0
type replicated
min_size 4
max_size 4
step take default
step choose firstn 2 type room
step chooseleaf firstn 2 type host
step emit
}
this will store 4 copies, 2 in different hosts and 2 different rooms.
