Boaz Leskes 6efe748e2e Only recommend disabling allocation of replicas in a rolling upgrade (#40299)
The current documentation recommends disabling allocations of all shards. This prevents shards of
new indices from being allocated as well. That means that during a rolling upgrade, operations like
roll over and index shrinking will operate correctly. This, in turn, can cause issues for data ingestion
and ILM.

When you shut down a node, the allocation process waits for
`index.unassigned.node_left.delayed_timeout` (by default, one minute) before
starting to replicate the shards on that node to other nodes in the cluster,
which can involve a lot of I/O. Since the node is shortly going to be
restarted, this I/O is unnecessary. You can avoid racing the clock by
<<shards-allocation, disabling allocation>> of replicas before shutting down
the node:
