I repeatly reinstalled cluster nodes (on a 3 nodes cluster) without 
problems, avoiding a reinstall. I documented the needed steps, but 
unfortunately only in italian (me english is too bad...) Documentation 
is here:

https://labs.truelite.it/projects/truedoc/wiki/ProxmoxClusterReinstall

I think google can translate it, and the command are quite easy to 
understand. You can put it in the wiki, if you want.
