It took me a while to make monitoring with metricbeat working again after the upgrade from 7.17.4 to 8.2.2 (I had to manually delete old .monitoring* indices).
Anyway, as soon as monitoring started working in Kibana, all 6 nodes of my cluster are marked as master (starred). In this cluster, all nodes can be master (all carry data).
