I strongly support this advice having felt the pain.

Inherited a setup using a semi-well-known vendors Patroni/Postgres HA operator implementation on OpenShift and it was extremely fragile to any kind of network latency/downtime (due to its strong tie to the master api) or worker node outage/drainage/maintenance. These events would mean hours of recovery work hacking around the operator.

It was not my decision to place Postgres on OpenShift and I will strongly discourage anyone planning to do this for production (or even testing). Please do not do it if you value your time and sanity. Spin up a replica set on VMs using one of the already production ready and battlehardened solutions or if in cloud use a managed Postgresql service.
