Recommend migrating from homogeneous op-node fleets to a specialized topology where a small deriver tier (behind a consensus-aware proxyd) serves the safe chain to a scalable pool of light op-node instances via --l2.follow.source. Covers the benefits (L1 utilization reduction, performance specialization, asymmetric scaling, lower cost for future rollouts like interop), a recommended HA three-tier layout, and guidance for node and chain operators (including sequencers).
