Yes, please do expand on this, since fast Paxos and similar are used for this in mission critical distributed databases for exactly this use case.

I’m not sure how often Fast Paxos is really a good tradeoff, since in the LAN it has inferior throughput to the other protocols I mention below, while in the WAN >3/4 quorums expose you to additional tail latency, probably enough to negate the advantage of eliminating a single message delay if clients are distant from the cluster (see the Google SRE book for discussion).
