You don't have to. The way I read your original post, it wasn't clear 
that your goal was to
deploy a _replacement_ server (it read like you wanted to add a 
completely new server).

You'd need to manually initialize the replica once (replication from the 
peers will
stall until you do this because they'll detect the RUV reset and refuse 
to send incremental updates).

Yes, this should work just fine.
