Answer 1

It is primarily a performance concern with DSE/Search since a query needs to fan out internally to enough nodes (or vnodes) to cover the full range of Cassandra rows in the DC, that's a lot more sub-queries when vnodes are enabled.

But, if your performance with vnodes in a DSE/Search DC is acceptable, then you have nothing to worry about.
