Depends on what your definition of "ok for production" is. For me, that
means sharding and replicas for appropriate failover when a node goes down.
I guess you're okay if you run a single server, have a backup / restore
process in place and searching be unavailable doesn't impact your
application heavily.

You could also ask yourself: is it ok for production to have one single database?
If for your usecase the answer is yes, then you could use elasticsearch as well with only one node.

As long as you can read again your data from the source and reindex....

But for sure, I'd prefer running 3 nodes.

My 2 cents.

Can't he just use two nodes as a bare minimum setup with number of replica
as one so that the search is available even if one node goes down. He can
add another node as soon as he observe any one node failure to avoid any
data loss.

...my 2 cents.

2 data nodes is fine. But a 3rd one, could be master only, would help to avoid split brain issues.
