I really like glaera for low volume clustering, because of the true multi-master nature. I've been using it for over a decade on a clustered mail server for storing account information, and more recently I've pumped the log information in there so each user can see their related log messages, for a user base of around 6,000 users, and it's been a real workhorse.

And as Jepsen showed, if you actually do increase volume, it loses consistency... Invalidating the use case for multi master entirely. So, ymmv I guess
