You can't, Kibana only connects to a single node at a time. You could stand up two Kibana instances, each one pointing at different master node, and then load balance those instances.

How about coordinate nodes?

Sure, if you only want a single Kibana instance, then any way you can connect it to a single node and have it distribute the traffic would work.
